Summary
This study is testing a fracture liaison service (FLS) combined with medication management for people with osteoporosis in a rural area. The program provides education, monitoring, and follow-up to help patients take their medications as prescribed. Researchers will enroll 200 adults aged 50 and older who have had a recent fracture or are starting or changing osteoporosis medications. The main goal is to see if the program improves medication adherence over 12 months.
