Section 1: Information about your FLS
Within OC’s FLS Registry and for the purposes of this audit, FLSs are assessed by individual hospital sites. For hospital corporations which may operate an FLS at two or more separate sites, a separate submission form must be filled out for each individual FLS site. For any questions in filling out this questionnaire, please contact Luanne Schenkels at lschenkels@osteoporosis.ca

Section 3: Type of FLS
3. Type of FLS:
(Click only one answer)
- a. Hip-only FLS falling under the “no dedicated FLS coordinator” exception rule. All of the hospital’s admitted fragility hip fracture patients are automatically referred to an osteoporosis specialist.
- b. Inpatient-only FLS (i.e. the FLS coordinator first meets the patient directly on the orthopaedic inpatient ward). Our FLS enrolls only hip fracture patients.
- c. Inpatient-only FLS (i.e. the FLS coordinator first meets the patient directly on the inpatient ward). Our FLS enrolls more than just hip fracture patients.
- d. Outpatient-only FLS (i.e. the FLS coordinator first meets the patient directly in the orthopaedic outpatient clinics).
- e. Combined inpatient/outpatient FLS (i.e. the FLS coordinator does systematic and pro-active case finding both on the orthopaedic inpatient ward AND in the orthopaedic outpatient clinics. Some patients, e.g. hip fracture patients, are first seen in person while still on the orthopaedic ward and others, e.g. wrist fracture patients, are first seen in person during their visit to the orthopaedic outpatient clinic).
- f. Other.
Briefly describe your model, including how the systematic and pro-active case finding occurs.
When/where does the osteoporosis specialist see the majority (> 50%) of the hip fracture patients?
- a. Patient is seen by the osteoporosis specialist while the patient is still hospitalized on the inpatient orthopaedic ward.
- b. Patient is given an appointment to see the osteoporosis specialist post-discharge on the same day and location as his/her appointment at the orthopaedic outpatient clinic.
- c. Patient is given an appointment to see the osteoporosis specialist post-discharge on the same day and location as his/her appointment for BMD testing.
- d. Patient is given an appointment to see the osteoporosis specialist post-discharge, unrelated to either of the appointments at the orthopaedic clinic or the BMD testing. Please provide any other relevant details
- e. Other. Please specify:
Please provide any other relevant details:
Other, please specify:
