Strategies for Osteoporosis Care-Section 4 - Patient Education and Adherence

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript emphasizes patient education and shared decision-making to improve osteoporosis medication adherence and prevent fractures. Providers should explain the diagnosis, treatment benefits, dosing, costs, and barriers, while also considering social determinants of health and pharmacy support. It addresses common fears about rare side effects, showing that fracture risk far outweighs risks like atypical femur fracture or osteonecrosis of the jaw. Dental care is usually safe during treatment. Visual risk comparisons can help patients understand benefits. Key messages: screen women at 65 and men at 70, treat high-risk patients, and maintain ongoing communication to improve outcomes.
