Study Summary
Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones so the bones may break easily. The risk for osteoporosis increases with age in both women and men. Osteoporosis affects 10 million older adults in the US. Osteoporosis is a common cause of broken bones in the hips and legs. Broken bones can lead to disability, nursing home placement, and death. Because of the dire consequences, a broken hip or leg is one of the most dreaded injuries for older adults. Many studies confirm that a simple regimen of exercise, healthy diet and bone-strengthening medications can improve overall recovery after a broken hip or leg. This regimen can prevent a person from becoming disabled, having future fractures, and even prevent death. Many older adults have surgery in a hospital after breaking a hip or leg. Then older adults go to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for rehabilitation. Care in SNFs varies greatly. Some patients do not receive the regimen that the investigators know is most beneficial to improve bone health and recovery. Even patients who get exercise, healthy diet, and bone-strengthening medication in the SNF, may not continue with the regimen once patients go home. Therefore, the investigators want to implement and test OsteoPorotic fracTure preventION System (OPTIONS). OPTIONS is a program that will integrate the regimen into the care that is provided in SNFs and after discharge to the community. OPTONS will provide information about exercise, diet, and bone-strengthening medication. OPTIONS will provide doctors, clinical staff, patients, and care partners with the information these stakeholders need to carry out the best-practice regimen. The investigators are partnering with PointClickCare, a large cloud-based healthcare software provider, with SNFs and community care sites across the US. The investigators will include 32 SNFs from different US areas. The investigators will flip a coin to assign SNFs to the intervention (OPTIONS) or the control arm (enhanced usual care) of t
