NEW TOOLKIT ON THE IMPACT OF FLS IN BRAZIL: AN IOF INITIATIVE TO STRENGTHEN FRACTURE PREVENTION
The IOF, with support from Amgen Brazil, has launched a toolkit to highlight the clinical, economic, and social value of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) in Brazil. Central to the initiative is the report “O Impacto Econômico, clínico e no paciente da FLS: Um relatório baseado em histórias de sucesso em três países da América Latina”*. The report aims at raising awareness among healthcare managers, guiding hospital decision-makers, and encouraging adoption of coordinated post-fracture care.
It highlights the burden of fragility fractures in Brazil and demonstrates that FLS improve outcomes for patients with fragility fractures by reducing morbidity and mortality, while strengthening health systems through systematic risk assessment and prevention. It recommends multidisciplinary teams, better patient identification, standardized protocols, and regular follow-up. READ MORE IN ENGLISH OR IN SPANISH/PORTUGUESE
