  • Health Services Research
  • Bone Densitometry

Background:

  • Regional bone density programs address access, wait times, and quality.
  • Manitoba initiated a unique model in 1997.
  • North American context presents challenges in service delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on Manitoba's regional bone density program experience.
  • To evaluate a unique North American model of bone density service delivery.
  • To address balancing accessibility, guidelines, and fiscal responsibility.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a regional bone density program.
  • Evaluation of service delivery model.
  • Assessment of program outcomes related to access, quality, and cost.
