Educational Need
Osteoporosis (OP) presents an immense and rapidly expanding burden on the healthcare system in Iowa and worldwide. The number of fractures worldwide is expected to double between 2010 and 2040. In the United States population over 50, 50% of women and 25% of men will have one or more fractures in their lifetime. Despite affordable and widely available treatments being available, a healthcare gap exists. Study after study suggests the lack of patient access and patient/provider misconceptions of risk/benefit are major impediments.
With the volume/societal cost of OP fractures and continued footnotes in multiple OP studies indicating a continued/widening care gap, the cost of care continues to accelerate at an increasingly unsustainable rate. In 2016, US Medicare (Fee for Service only) patients suffered 1.29 million osteoporotic fractures (low energy fractures) at an average cost of $21,564 (allowed cost to Medicare and patient cost share) per fracture. This represents $28B in cost. With the US fracture rate expected to exceed two million by 2030, this cost is becoming unsustainable for the healthcare system.
The human cost of fractures, not normally quantified, frequently results in patient pain (often chronic pain), loss of function, decreased independence with increased reliance on family/friends, and corresponding financial burdens to society associated with this demise in function.
There are multiple clinical guidelines for the treatment of osteoporosis, including, but not limited to, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, and the United States Preventative Service Task Force. The field of OP is rapidly evolving, with new treatment sequences, treat-to-target, drug holidays, and treatment goals in a fluid state of change. The excess of guidelines can be confusing, even overwhelming, for overtaxed HCPs. It is often more accessible for the HCP to ignore OP rather than address it.
Given the evolution of guidelines, the loss of healthcare provider (HCP) time available for direct patient care, and the lack of coordinated resources for all HCPs, the United States continues to see a critical gap in the identification/care of OP patients. The Iowa Bone Club is working to increase awareness of guidelines/processes/trends in Iowa (and surrounding states) HCP/Ancillary staff in identifying and treating bone health/osteoporosis.
