The audit and development of a care plan for Osteoporosis prophylaxis and treatment in the MMUH

A large number of patients are treated annually for osteoporosis in the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital (MMUH). As detection strategies improve and more risk factors are identified, the number of patients requiring treatment is increasing. No standardised protocol existed for treatment of these patients in the MMUH. As many new agents became available (Teriparatide, Strontium), it was appropriate that an audit was performed on current practices and a care plan devised for future patients. This poster documents that audit.
