Summary

This trial is testing different care models for osteoporosis screening in male veterans, to see which is most effective in terms of patient, provider, and facility outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for male veterans aged 65-85 who have not been diagnosed with osteoporosis or had a fracture, are part of a PACT team led by a provider with at least 0.75 FTE and training, have been enrolled in an eligible PACT team for over two years, and meet one or more VA risk factors for osteoporosis.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of a primary osteoporosis screening care model within the VA healthcare system. It will evaluate outcomes related to patients, providers, and facilities to determine how well each intervention works.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on screening models rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with the interventions being tested.
