Adherence

A clinical decision support system (CDSS) that integrates patient-centered pre-visit questionnaires with provider alerts significantly increases primary care practitioners' self-reported frequency of counseling on behavioral interventions, referring to weight-loss programs, and discussing anti-obesity medications.

For primary care providers, using a clinical decision support system that allows patients to complete a pre-visit questionnaire about their weight management interest can significantly increase the likelihood of you counseling on behavioral changes, referring patients to weight-loss programs, and discussing anti-obesity medications. This approach works by reducing the friction of initiating these conversations and integrating seamlessly into your electronic health record workflow.
