Leadership Resources and Projects

Each year, the AOA confronts stimulating and controversial issues to enhance the quality of musculoskeletal health care through the recognition and provision of leadership in the acquisition and dissemination of relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes. 

Own the Bone Initiative
In 2005, the AOA also embarked on a major public health problem which was a topic of a Surgeon General Report in 2004: fragility fractures.  The AOA responded and developed a Bone Health Initiative called Own the Bone.  The web-based quality improvement registry designed to increase awareness of osteoporosis prevention strategies and improve the diagnosis and  management of patients with fragility fractures in either a hospital or clinical setting was piloted in 2006 and the data will be published in 2007.

Orthopaedic Institute of Medicine (IOM)
The overall objective of the Orthopaedic IOM initiative is to provide focused, in-depth, unbiased education, information, and recommendations on issues critical to the profession of orthopaedics and the care of patients with musculoskeletal disease or injury and that also impact other disciplines/specialties and/or healthcare providers.  The initiative will rely on experts with a variety of perspectives, training, and positions who have knowledge and experience on topics of interest.
