Communication with the physician or other clinician managing on-going care post fracture for men and women aged 50 years and older

Patients with documentation of communication with the physician or other clinician managing the patient’s on-going care that a fracture occurred and that the patient was or should be considered for osteoporosis testing or treatment.

Communication may include documentation in the medical record indicating that the clinician treating the fracture communicated (e.g., verbally, by letter, through shared electronic health record, a bone mineral density test report was sent) with the clinician managing the patient’s on-going care OR a copy of a letter in the medical record outlining whether the patient was or should be treated for osteoporosis.
