Reduce Fracture Risk

Abstract Rural Veterans at risk of fracture due to osteoporosis remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, in part due to location-related barriers to accessing care. Despite lowered cost and travel barriers to osteoporosis care through implementation of a telehealth model directed at rural at-risk Veterans that took advantage of many strengths of the VA’s healthcare system, only 30% of eligible Veterans accepted care. To understand low acceptance, we conducted 39 semi-structured telephone interviews with Veterans eligible for the clinic, including 19 who accepted screening and treatment, 12 who completed screening but declined treatment, and 8 who declined screening and treatment. Veterans who opted to be screened and/or treated for osteoporosis did so because: it was recommended by the VA; they were interested in learning more about their health; thought they may be at risk of osteoporosis; or believed screening would not cause them harm. Conversely, Veterans refused screening or treatment because of past negative experiences with medications, both bone and non-bone; a wish to not put anything else into their bodies; or the belief that their bone loss is not severe enough to warrant treatment. Outside medical professionals and peers influenced Veterans’ decisions to not take or alter their treatment. Cost and travel distance remained a barrier for Veterans who did not live near a VA facility with the necessary screening and treatment infrastructure. Many barriers to osteoporosis care remain despite efforts to remove them. Delivery systems must account for both instrumental and social access to care to reduce fracture risk.

Osteoporosis Care Gap

ZusammenfassungEine rasche chirurgische Versorgung der Frakturen und folglich eine möglichst rasche nachfolgende Mobilisierung sind mittlerweile zum Standard der Frakturversorgung im Alter geworden. Die Therapie der zugrunde liegenden Osteoporose tritt häufig in den Hintergrund der medizinischen Akutversorgung. Nur ein kleiner Anteil der Patienten ist vortherapiert, nur wenigen Patienten wird nach erlittener osteoporotischer Fraktur eine umfassende osteologische Medikation verschrieben, die die Progredienz der Osteoporose mindern und das Eintreten weiterer Frakturen reduzieren soll. Diese Minderversorgung ist in der Literatur als „osteoporosis care gap” bekannt. Der folgende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Therapiemöglichkeiten und beantwortet zahlreiche Fragestellungen aus dem klinischen Alltag.

The Continuum

Taking patient experience as a basis, this paper introduces a theoretical framework, to capture insights leading to new technological healthcare solutions. Targeting a recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes child and her mother (the principal caregiver), the framework showed its potential with effective identification of meaningful insights in a generative session. The framework is based on the patient experience across the continuum of care. It identifies insights from the patient perspective: capturing patients´ emotional and cognitive responses, understanding agents involved in patient experience, uncovering pain moments, identifying their root causes, and/or prioritizing actions for improvement. The framework deepens understanding of the patient experience by providing an integrated and multi-leveled structure to assist designers to (a) empathise with the patient and the caregiver throughout the continuum of care, (b) understand the interdependencies around the patient and different agents and (c) reveal insights at the interaction level.

Motivation Strategies

This study explores male physicians’ use of verbal compliance gaining strategies to encourage patients to adhere to medication regimens, lifestyle changes, or future appointments, and assesses which strategies are associated with patients’ reported healthcare experiences. Five physicians from a family practice clinic in northern British Columbia, Canada, were audio-recorded while interacting with 31 patients during actual consultations. Compliance-gaining utterances were coded into five categories of strategies, while patient experience with care was assessed using a questionnaire. A number of intriguing findings emerged: direct orders were related to a more negative experience with interpersonal aspects of care, but were fairly frequently used, especially with female patients. Persuasion was the only strategy that promoted a positive patient experience, but was rarely used. However, the effect of persuasion on patient experience was no longer significant when adjusting for patients’ health status. Physicians relied mostly on motivation strategies to encourage adherence, but these strategies were not related to patients’ assessment of their healthcare experiences. These results suggest that the most frequently used verbal compliance gaining strategies by physicians are not always appreciated by patients. To be more effective, it is necessary to inform physicians about which compliance-gaining strategies promote a positive patient healthcare experience.
