ICSI has made a significant format enhancement in our scientific documents. All scientific documents (excluding Order Sets) now have “interactive” capability that allows a user to click on various links in the document and easily navigate from one area to another. For example, you can click on an algorithm box (those denoted with an “A” and those that refer to other algorithm boxes) and link directly to supporting annotation.

A tip for quickly going back and forth within the document:
Go to View, Toolbars, More Tools, Page Navigation, Previous View.
This should give you a back arrow tool that will allow you to go back and forth between views easily.

Note: The interactive links within ICSI PDF guidelines may not work on some mobile devices. However, the GoodReader App (and possibly some other "reader" applications) will allow anyone to open ICSI interactive PDF Guidelines on their mobile device and utilize most of the interactive capabilities.

Scope and Target Population:
This guideline is targeted toward identification of adult patients at risk for osteoporosis, as well as identification and treatment of those patients with osteoporosis.

Aims:

1. Increase the percentage of female patients age 18 years and older who are evaluated for osteoporosis risk factors during a preventive visit.
   
2. Increase the percentage of female and male patients age 50 years and older and diagnosed with osteoporosis who receive treatment for osteoporosis.
   
3. Improve diagnostic and therapeutic follow-up for osteoporosis of adults presenting with a history of low-impact (fragility) fracture for men and women age 50 or older.

Clinical Highlights:

• Discuss risk factors for osteoporosis, and primary prevention with all patients presenting for routine health visits.
  
• Address pharmacologic options for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with appropriate patients at risk for or who currently have signs and symptoms of osteoporosis.
