Medtronic plc (MDT), the global leader in medical technology, today announced that the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) supports the VCF Care Pathway, a new evidence-based clinical care pathway developed by a multispecialty panel of experts to ensure osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (VCF) patients receive timely and appropriate care. The VCF Care Pathway, published in Spine Journal in 20181and developed with grant support from Medtronic*, is an algorithm that has the potential to be integrated into a hospital’s electronic medical record (EMR) system, ensuring patients who present with moderate or severe back pain as their primary or secondary complaint receive standardized treatment across all departments and healthcare providers, consisting of evidence-based care and follow-up.
