New framework aims to standardize lifestyle medicine data collection across health care systems
As health care systems increasingly seek solutions to the growing burden of chronic disease, a new position statement from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) outlines a standardized approach to collecting and measuring lifestyle medicine data at the point of care.
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has released a new position statement outlining a standardized approach to collecting and measuring lifestyle medicine data at the point of care. The framework, published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, aims to standardize the documentation of lifestyle behaviors, clinical outcomes, interventions, patient goals, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience across health care systems.
By doing so, the ACLM believes that lifestyle medicine's effectiveness, scalability, and value can be better demonstrated, ultimately leading to policy changes, reimbursement models, and health system decision-making that reflect the clinical, economic, and population health impact of lifestyle medicine.
