Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center

Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center is one of DOH’s premiere hospitals in Metro Manila. It is located along Rizal Avenue, Sta. Cruz, and it offers subspecialty care to all of its patients. We started a fracture liason service to enhance bone health in patients aged 50 and above who have fractures. We envision a multidisciplinary approach to effectively manage and prevent fractures in the elderly.

Newly started: Artificial intelligence capture every low energy fracture patient (diagnosis and key words from all documents in the hospital) and a lokal FLS team verifies these patients and sends out information about the FLS program. This includes fall risk assestment, nutrition, exercise and more as well as measurements wich can be taken by the patient itself. Furthermore requisition for bloodtests and DXA/BMD. Followup consultation with the FLS team afterwords for the results and possibly treatment. Followup for those who need it.
