PATHWEIGH Weight Management Model

The power of PATHWEIGH is that it puts patients and their primary care provider on the same page…It all started with signage placed in clinics that notified patients that if they wanted to make an appointment to specifically talk about weight management, all they had to do was approach the desk and ask for it. That request automatically triggered a mechanism in the patient’s electronic health record that sent them a survey that after completion would flow into the provider’s notes. Instead of spending so much time typing and talking about the patient’s history, the scheduled visit could be centered around solutions.
