Osteoporosis Canada (OC), a registered charity, is the only national organization serving people affected by osteoporosis. OC works to educate, empower, and support individuals and communities on bone health and in the risk-reduction and treatment of osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND:

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. This can cause the skeleton to become fragile, so that even a slight bump or a fall from standing height or less, can lead to a broken bone (fragility fracture).

The goal of the Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy is to reduce morbidity, mortality, and costs from osteoporotic fractures, including hip fractures, using a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach that is integrated across health care sectors.

The Fracture Screening and Prevention Program (FSPP) is a secondary fracture prevention initiative and a key priority of the Ontario Osteoporosis Strategy. Fracture Prevention Coordinators (FPCs) implement the FSPP in fracture clinics around the province.

JOB SUMMARY:

The purpose of the FSPP is to identify patients aged 50 and over who have a fragility fracture and connect them with support and services to help them reduce the risk of another fracture.

Fracture Prevention Coordinators (FPC) provide osteoporosis screening in an orthopaedic setting. After identifying and assessing men and women who have had a fragility fracture, they facilitate patient access to integrated and appropriate post-fracture care such as bone mineral density testing and/or follow up with an osteoporosis specialist. The FPCs work with orthopaedic surgeons, allied health professionals, fracture clinic staff, and primary care. FPCs also provide information and support to connect these patients with primary care, community-based services and education.
