This primary care toolkit from the National Osteoporosis Foundation aims to increase the identification, assessment, and treatment of patients who are at risk for fractures by physicians and other healthcare professionals in primary care practice. As the patient's "medical home," primary care is the ideal setting for implementing and overseeing these evidence-based fracture prevention strategies. The toolkit includes education on osteoporosis and fractures as well as fall risk assessments.
