Sint-Andries Ziekenhuis
Small hospital with the advantage to try to fully screen to fragility fractures and to reach all patients. For the patients who were'nt reached, an informative letter to the GP is sent out. We foresee for the high risk patients a diagnostic workout with BMD (and RX of spine if necessary) and suggest treatment. After 3 months, patients are called for the adherence/compliance and some further medical visits are made by then. We hope in this way to contribute to a lower fracture rate in our aging population.
