300,000 hip fractures a year approaching a 20% 1 year mortality rate and less than a quarter of those patients get on a regimen of bone health medications, home modifications and exercise that could prevent the next fracture.
My big beef with the CMS ACCESS model is the missed opportunity to include a bone health and fall prevention track. This would have been a great chance to layer technology enabled care to address a national public health problem.
