Long-term care (LTC) residents are more dependent, frail and vulnerable, and require more complex care than community-dwelling older adults. Yet many interventions intended to reduce fracture risk are not used consistently in LTC, and clinical practice guidelines for osteoporosis have focused on the care of adults living in the community.

In this workshop, facilitators will share insights from the 2023 updated clinical practice guideline for management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention in Canada, as well as actionable tools for screening, diagnosing and optimizing care.
