Integrating Clinical Decision Support with Point of Care Learning: The Osteoporosis Care InitiativeWe have developed an interactive, clinical decision support instrument to assist primary care physicians in the clinical management of patients at risk for fracture. The tool is available for use on the Web and on PDA platforms, and provides clinical recommendations across the continuum of care. Delivery of the application is tethered to a front-end CME training program which helps learners recognize clinical risk factors and apply the tool in practice to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, the instrument allows the learner to access back-end education so they can get more information based upon their individual needs, in a self-directed manner.
