  2. Putting FLS into context:Patients, professionals and policymakers

  3. In UK >250,000 fractures per year Annual cost >£2billion %

  4. The problemA fracture (any site) is associated with 2-3x increase in future fracture risk The opportunityAppropriate targeting of treatment for osteoporosis halves future fracture risk (including risk of hip fracture)

  5. Missed opportunity Lyles KW et al. ASBMR 2006. Abstract SA405 Edwards BJ et al. Clin Orthop Rel Res 2007;461:226-230 McLellan AR. et al. (CEPS 99/03). NHS Quality Improvement Scotland. 2004.

  6. The Challenge Can systematic post-fracture assessment for fracture secondary prevention be delivered cost-effectively to an entire healthcare region?

  7. Aim of the Fracture Liaison Service To offer all women & men aged 50+ years who present with a new fracture (excluding those sustained in road traffic accident or in fall from above head height) assessment for treatment for fracture secondary prevention

  8. Key components of a FLS Fracture case-finding Fracture risk assessment Implementation of fracturesecondary prevention

  9. Fracture Liaison ServiceFAQ • Is FLS more effective than usual services for effecting fracture secondary prevention? • Does FLS reduce incidence of fractures? • Is FLS cost-effective?

  11. NHS Quality Improvement Scotland national auditSecondary fracture prevention by FLS vs other models A multi-centre national audit conducted in Scotland compared delivery of secondary prevention for fracture patients attending 6 hospitals with various service models: Fracture Liaison Service (Centre W) GPs could refer fracture patients for open-access DXA assessment (Centres G,S & A) Orthopaedic surgeons advise fracture patient to attend GP for referral for DXA (Centre H) No structured service or access to local DXA (Centre I) NHS Quality Improvement Scotland.

  16. The Glasgow FLS • 1999: West Glasgow FLS • 1 centre: population 250K: 1500 fractures/yr • 2002: Pan-Greater Glasgow FLS • 3 centres: population 1M: 6500 fractures/yr • 2009: Pan-Greater Glasgow & Clyde FLS • 5 centres: population 1.4M: 9000 fractures/yr

  17. The Glasgow FLS • Pan-Greater Glasgow FLS • 3 centres: population 1M: 6500 fractures/yr • >50,000 fracture patients managed by FLS since 1999 • 1998-2008: Emergency admissions with hip fracture (codes S.72.0-72.2)  by 7.3% • in context of FLS & falls strategy Skelton & Neil 2009 http://library.nhsggc.org.uk/mediaAssets/OFPS/NHSGGC%20Strategy%20for%20Osteoporosis%20and%20Falls%20Prevention%202006-2010_An%20Evaluation_Skelton%20and%20Neil%202009.pdf

  18. Fracture Liaison ServiceFAQ • Is FLS more effective than usual services for effecting fracture secondary prevention? • Does FLS reduce incidence of fractures? • Is FLS cost-effective?

  19. FLS: cost-effectiveness evaluation • West Glasgow FLS • First 8 years’ data: 11,096 fracture patients • Age 50-104, 78% women • 80% underwent FLS assessment • 49% had DXA + 17% compliance review w/o DXA • 14% treated with Calcium and Vitamin D w/o DXA • Overall 60% were treated • Per 1000 fracture patients: • 18fewer fractures(including 11 hip fractures) • Cost saving£26,000(after assessment & drug costs) McLellan et al. 2010 NOS meeting abst

  20. QIPP:Quality, Innovation, Productivity, Prevention Fracture Liaison Services deliver innovative, preventative care that will improve quality and reduce costs through a reduction in unscheduled emergency admissions. FLS addresses all elements of the QIPP agenda and the overarching objective of the NHS Outcomes Framework.

NHFD Toolkit – Version 3 All available at http://www.nhfd.co.uk/ • A systematic approach to hip fracture care and prevention1-3 • Hip fracture care • Blue Book Chapter 1 • Effective ortho-geriatric services for hip fracture patients • Universal National Hip Fracture Database participation • Hip fracture prevention • Blue Book Chapter 2 • An FLS for every hospital to identify all new fragility fracture patients • Pro-active case-finding of all unassessed prior fragility fracture patients

  33. Professional consensus guidance on hip fractures2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database 1. BOA-BGS 2007 Blue Book 2. National Hip Fracture Database Both available at http://www.nhfd.co.uk/ Clinical standards link Blue Book to NHFD1,2: • All patients presenting with fragility fracture should be assessed to determine their need for antiresorptive therapy to prevent future osteoporotic fractures • All patients presenting with a fragility fracture following a fall should be offered multidisciplinary assessment and intervention to prevent future falls

  34. Guidance applicable throughout UK2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database • “Establishment of an integrated Fracture Liaison Service in every UK hospital, which operates in close collaboration with local general practice, offers the optimal system of healthcare delivery to implement NICE guidance consistently for all patients presenting with fragility fractures.” 1. BOA-BGS 2007 Blue Book 2. National Hip Fracture Database Both available at http://www.nhfd.co.uk/ • The Blue Book highlights the need for consistent delivery of NHFD standards 5 and 61,2: “…the most practical option available to the NHS to attenuate the rising incidence of hip fractures is to ensure that every patient presenting today with any fragility fracture receives effective secondary preventative care.”

  37. RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009 Falls and bone health services • Opportunities to prevent recurrent falls and fractures are being missed • 2. Commissioning is patchy, rarely providing a coordinated falls and fracture strategy • 3. Many clinical services were not adhering to the NICE CG21 and TA87 (now TA161) National Audit of the Organisation of Services for Falls and Bone Health for Older People. 2009.

Parliamentary Question. 29-06-2009 • David Cameron MP. Speech in Bolton. 20-08-2009 Andrew Lansley MP Monday 5th Oct 2009 “While we do as well as the rest of Europe on heart disease, we are much worse on deaths from cancer, from lung disease, from osteoporosis and from arthritis.” Monday 29th June 2009 Osteoporosis: Health Services, Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made in implementing the osteoporosis diagnosis and prevention scheme provided for in the Primary Medical Services (Directed Enhanced Services) (England) (Amendment) Directions 2009. [282131] David Cameron MP Thursday 20th August 2009 “The growth of long-term conditions: As people live longer they're more likely to live for more of their life with at least one long-term condition like Diabetes, Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's. It's estimated that by 2025 over six million older people will be suffering from a debilitating long-term illness. The number of people with dementia will have increased to around one million; with osteoporosis to over four million; with hearing loss to around ten million. These are increases of up to fifty per cent from today.”
