All Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) on the Capture the Fracture® Map of Best Practice have been evaluated by the Capture the Fracture® Governance from both administrative and clinical perspectives.

The evaluation is determined by achievement against the BPF standards for four key fragility fracture patient groups - hip fractures, other in-patient fractures, outpatient fractures and vertebral fractures - and organizational characteristics.

The FLS is given one of four ratings in each category - gold, silver, bronze or black (no information). The summation of these ratings is then calculated to determine the FLS’ overall rating - gold, silver or bronze.
