Kaiser Permanente study shows electronic medical records and outreach improve osteoporosis care
Date:10/22/2007

each staff, who completed a patient record review, counseled the patients regarding risk of osteoporosis and future fractures, and ordered laboratory testing, medication, or a BMD measurement. During Phase 2 clinicians and staff were eligible for a financial incentive for quality improvement based on the osteoporosis HEDIS measure.

Although the financial incentive helped staff define what the organizational priority was, being a team player is what drove behavior, said Dr. Feldstein. The increase in performance resulted from re-engineering the patients care and ensuring continuity of care from orthopedist and primary care physician.
