A Nurse, a Checklist and a Phone Call: Raising Osteoporosis Treatment After Fragility Fracture
Title Band
A Nurse, a Checklist and a Phone Call: Raising Osteoporosis Treatment After Fragility Fracture. Composite DNP student and FNP-C candidate, with her project chair; Edson College, Arizona State University.
Left Column
Background. A low-energy fracture after age 50 signals osteoporosis and a high risk of another fracture. Nationally, most hip fracture patients never start treatment (Solomon et al., 2014).
Local problem. In our orthopedic clinic, 7.3% of eligible patients began treatment within six months.
Purpose. Increase osteoporosis treatment initiation within six months through a nurse-led fracture liaison pathway.
Framework. Knowledge-to-Action cycle (Graham et al., 2006), used to adapt fracture liaison evidence to one clinic and to plan monitoring.
Center Column
Methods. Quality improvement project; pre-post comparison of consecutive eligible adults across two six-month periods; monthly run charts; chi-square and paired t-tests.
Intervention. (1) Record checklist flags every patient over 50 whose fracture came from a low-energy fall. (2) Nurse orders bone density testing by standing order. (3) Fifteen minutes of teaching with a handout in English or Spanish. (4) Letter to the primary care clinician. (5) Phone call at three months.
Run chart caption: Monthly treatment initiation shifted above the baseline median from the second month after launch and stayed there.
| Measure | Before (n = 150) | After (n = 146) |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment started within 6 months | 11 (7.3%) | 47 (32.2%) |
| Bone density test within 3 months | 19 (12.7%) | 89 (61.0%) |
| Knowledge score, mean of 32 (n = 104 paired) | 16.8 | 22.1 |
Right Column
Implications. A nurse-led pathway using existing staff can close much of the treatment gap. Effective services share a coordinator, follow-up and education (Wu et al., 2018).
Limitations. One clinic; no control group; three-month call completion 64%.
Next steps. Keep the nurse role, add text reminders, extend to the satellite office.
References. Four sources in small type.
Acknowledgments. Clinic nurses, surgeons and the statistician who advised on analysis.
Layout Decisions
Results sit in the center column at eye level because most visitors look there first. The results table replaces a paragraph, and the run chart is the only figure. Body text is at least 24-point and headings 44-point, and the clinic is not named until site leaders approve. A QR code in the corner links to the full abstract for visitors who want detail.

What the DNP 707 Module 7 instructions ask for
The posted syllabus grades the DNP Project Poster at 75 points as individual work: an overview of the project in a well-defined, structured poster format. Poster work runs through Week 7 and Weeks 10 to 12, with a separate poster evaluation activity at the immersion and a poster presentation on the in-person poster day worth 50 points. Students pay for printing through the ASU Print and Imaging Lab in early April, so leave time for proofs. Expect a required template or size in Canvas, along with expectations for sections such as background, purpose, methods, results and implications. Have your chair review a draft before you print. Ask whether your program wants the university logo and which color palette is allowed, since templates sometimes restrict both.
Inside the DNP 707 Module 7 example
The paper writes out the content of each poster panel in reading order, left to right, so faculty can judge both content and structure. Sections are short labeled blocks rather than paragraphs. The results table holds the key numbers with denominators, and the run chart caption tells the viewer what to see. Limitations and next steps get their own lines. A layout section explains choices about placement, font size, figures, privacy and a QR code, which shows design reasoning rather than decoration. Every claim that relies on outside evidence carries a citation, and the poster reuses the abstract's numbers exactly. Every number in the table matches the abstract, and the caption states what the chart shows instead of leaving viewers to work it out.
Reading the DNP 707 Module 7 grading rubric
Posters are generally graded on clear structure, accurate and complete content for each section, readable design, effective use of tables and figures, correct citations, and a coherent story from problem to implications. Faculty look for posters that can be understood in two or three minutes without the presenter. Results that stand out visually earn credit. Too much text is the most common reason posters lose points. Accurate numbers that match the abstract and executive summary show care. Acknowledging limitations on the poster shows integrity. A clean, consistent layout with enough white space reads as professional. Faculty may also judge whether the poster could stand alone at a conference without the student beside it.
DNP 707 Module 7 help with common mistakes
Many first drafts are a paper pasted onto a poster. Cut every section to a few lines and turn results into a table or a single chart. Another trouble spot is small fonts; check readability by printing a letter-size copy and reading it from arm's length. Use the template your program requires. Put the main result where eyes land first. Proofread numbers against your abstract. If you would like help turning your project into poster panels, send your abstract, results and template to the desk. Order printing early in case the file needs fixing. Stand back six feet from the screen at full size before you send the file to print.
Write yours, or have the desk draft it
This paper is an original model document written by our desk, not a submitted student paper and not an official Arizona State University document. Read it for the moves, then write your own to the instructions in your classroom. If you want one built to your exact prompt and rubric, the first custom sample is free and arrives in 24 to 48 hours.
