The Effect of an Automated Clinical Reminder on Weight Loss in Primary Care
2013
Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine
Overweight and obese individuals have increased health risks. Clinical reminders positively affect health outcomes in diabetes and osteoporosis, but the effect of automated prompts on weight loss in obesity has not been studied. Our objective was to determine whether an automatic prompt for the clinician to recommend lifestyle changes to patients with a body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m 2 led to greater weight loss over a 3-to 6-month interval compared with the absence of a clinical reminder.
