Although guidelines on assessing and managing osteoporosis are available many patients are not receiving appropriate diagnostic testing or treatment. Findings from a systematic review of osteoporosis interventions a series of mixed-methods studies and advice from experts in osteoporosis and human-factors engineering were used collectively to develop a multicomponent tool targeted to family physicians and patients at risk for osteoporosis that may support clinical decision making in osteoporosis disease management at the point of care. Methods A three-phased approach will be used to evaluate the osteoporosis tool. In phase 1 the tool will be implemented in three family practices. It will involve ensuring optimal functioning of the tool while minimizing disruption to usual practice. In phase 2 the tool will be pilot tested in a quasi-experimental interrupted time series ITS design to determine if it can improve osteoporosis disease management at the point of care. Phase 3 will involve conducting a qualitative postintervention follow-up study to better understand participants experiences and perceived utility of the tool and readiness to adopt the tool at the point of care. Discussion The osteoporosis tool has the potential to make several contributions to the development and evaluation of complex chronic disease interventions such as the .
