Measuring osteoporosis quality: The work of the Joint Commission
Abstract:
Recognizing the significant impact of osteoporosis, The Joint Commission has worked since 2005 to develop performance measures in osteoporosis across the care continuum.This work has led to the development of 3 measures, which may be used at any time to meet hospital quality improvement goals. Plans are in place to submit to the National Quality Forum for endorsement as national consensus standards. The measures were developed under the guidance of a 12 member Technical Advisory Panel.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
