Summary

This study compares three care models to prevent falls and fractures in older adults recovering from a broken bone in a skilled nursing facility. About 3,780 participants across 42 facilities will receive either medication reduction, bone health management, or both. The goal is to find which approach best prevents injuries and improves quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Deprescribing Care Model, Bone Health Service Model, Injury Prevention Service Model
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a practical, scalable way to prevent dangerous falls and fractures in older adults recovering from a broken bone.
What could go wrong
This is a large pragmatic study, but results depend on real-world implementation across many facilities. The interventions are complex and may not work equally well for everyone.
