Patient Activation After DXA Result Notification
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Osteoporosis, Bone Diseases, Metabolic
In brief
There is growing evidence that patients undergoing bone mineral density testing (BMD) often do not take important steps to improve their bone health. The investigators will conduct a randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a novel and practical patient activation intervention (mailing patients their bone density test results) on the quality of bone-related healthcare and the cost-effectiveness of BMD testing. Equally important, the investigators intervention could easily be modified to include other patient populations and chronic diseases.
