1 Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers National Osteoporosis Society FLS Education Programme October 2010

2 Putting FLS into context: Patients, professionals and policymakers

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

4 The problem A fracture (any site) is associated with 2- 3x increase in future fracture risk The opportunity Appropriate 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 fracture secondary prevention

9 Fracture Liaison Service FAQ 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 audit Secondary 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.

14 NHS Quality Improvement Scotland national audit Secondary fracture prevention by FLS vs other models Audit findings: –95% of wrist fracture patients were offered assessment and/or treatment at the FLS centre in comparison to 21% at centres without an FLS –97% percent of hip fracture offered assessment and/or treatment at the centre with an FLS versus 25% at the centres with other service structures Fracture Liaison Service model closed secondary prevention gap for patients presenting to hospital with new fragility fractures NHS Quality Improvement Scotland.

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: 18 fewer 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.

33 Professional consensus guidance on hip fractures 2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database Clinical standards link Blue Book to NHFD 1,2 : 1.All patients presenting with fragility fracture should be assessed to determine their need for antiresorptive therapy to prevent future osteoporotic fractures 2.All patients presenting with a fragility fracture following a fall should be offered multidisciplinary assessment and intervention to prevent future falls 1.

34 Guidance applicable throughout UK 2007 Blue Book and National Hip Fracture Database The Blue Book highlights the need for consistent delivery of NHFD standards 5 and 6 1,2 : “…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.” 1. BOA-BGS 2007 Blue Book 2. National Hip Fracture Database Both available at http://www.nhfd.co.uk/http://www.nhfd.co.uk/ “ 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.”

37 RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009 Falls and bone health services 1.Opportunities to prevent recurrent falls and fractures are being missed 2. Commissioning is patchy, rarely providing a coordinated falls and fracture strategy 3.

38 RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009 Recommendations Primary care organisations (PCOs) should develop commissioning strategies that include: −Case finding systems in hospital and community settings to identify high risk fallers −Adherence to NICE treatment guidelines with monitoring by local audit −Clinical leaders including a consultant with job plan commitment −A Fracture Liaison Service −Widespread and accessible evidence-based exercise programmes −Targeted use of validated home safety assessments National Audit of the Organisation of Services for Falls and Bone Health for Older People. 2009.

39 RCP-CEEU national organisational audit 2009 Recommendations The Department of Health should review how it can best support these developments by: –Provision of advice on commissioning –Strengthening incentives –Provision of useful metrics for falls prevention, fractures and osteoporosis treatments

43 The Coalition Government and Osteoporosis Comments from the new Healthcare Leaders 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.” 1.Andrew Lansley MP. Speech in Manchester. 05-10-2009 2.Andrew Lansley MP. Parliamentary Question. 29-06-2009 3.David Cameron MP.
