Leading Health IndicatorsHealthy People 2020
• Physical activity• Overweight and obesity• Tobacco use• Substance abuse• Responsible sexual behavior• Mental health• Injury and Violence• Environmental quality• Immunization• Access to health care
The current challenges for patients: Unhealthy Lifestyles
• Only 11% of patients with diabetes follow accepted dietary recommendations for saturated fat intake (Eilat-Adar)
• 8% of patients with heart disease continue to smoke (Soni)
Can you say yes to all? Only 8% of Americans can
• I am within 5 pounds of my ideal body weight• I exercise 30 minutes or more most days of the week• I eat a healthy diet with 5 fruits/vegetables most days• I don’t use tobacco products• I have 2 or fewer alcoholic drinks per day
These are the drivers of health care costs!
Optimism for Action
• Decline in tobacco use prevalence from 42.4% to 20.6% of American adults between 1965 and 2009 (CDC)
• Lifestyle change that is an important example of success
• How did we do it?...
Health Behavior Change: Ecologic Model
Societal/Public Policy
Community
Organizational
Interpersonal
Individual
Physician Counseling
• Evidence is mixed about impact of physician counseling on health behavior change (Cochrane)
• May be artifact of study design• Varity of health behaviors, interventions, application
of approaches, length and intensity, statistical power
• US Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF)• In general, the recommendations are in favor of
physician counseling• Recommendations vary for specific health behaviors
USPSTF Recommendations
Behavior Recommendation for Screening and Behavioral Counseling
Tobacco Use A
Physical Activity I
Healthy Diet B (for at-risk patients)
Alcohol Misuse B
I- still need further studies in this area
Examples of the Impact of Physician Counseling
• Patients who make behavior change often cite that the physician’s advice influenced them (Galuska)
• Sedentary patients increased weekly walking exercises by 5 times when counseled by physician and received health educator booster call (vs. standard of care) (Calfas)
• Patients who were counseled to lose weight more likely to (Huang):
• Understand risks of obesity
• Understand benefits of weight loss
• Higher stage of change of readiness for weight loss
Current rates of Health Behavior Advice/Counseling• Physicians often do not offer lifestyle as first line
prevention and treatment (Stafford)• Only 36% of obese patients are advised to lose weight
during regular exams• Only 52% of patients who already have obesity-related
co-morbidities are advised to lose weight
• Only 28% of smokers reported that health care professionals had offered them assistance to quit smoking in the past year (Partnership for Prevention)
Physician Barriers to Counseling
• Lack of time• Reimbursement issues• Insufficient confidence• Insufficient knowledge• Insufficient skills• Others?
• From previous examples• Patient’s note counseling has significant effect of
understanding and motivation• BUT physicians often provide insufficient guidance
Time & Reimbursement
• Affordable Care Act and prevention:• $15 billion over 10 years to “expand and sustain the
necessary infrastructure to prevent disease, detect it early, and manage conditions before they become severe.”
• Private carriers and Medicare required to cover preventive screenings (USPSTF “A” and “B” & future guidelines for women, children, adolescents, to be developed by HRSA)
Time & Reimbursement cont.• State Medicaid matching funds enhanced for following
USPSTF recommendations
• Medicare Annual Wellness visit
• Numerous employer and worksite incentives and grants to improve health promotion programs
• Individualized prevention plans in Medicare
• Incentives for chronic disease patients in Medicaid
“McLipitor Syndrome”*
• "I call it the McLipitor Syndrome. Patients feel they can eat whatever they want as long as they take a statin drug to lower cholesterol. Because of time constraints, physicians may spend little time counseling lifestyle change, which can work as well as or better than the best drugs for heart disease, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure."
*Mark Goldstein, MD, NY Times Magazine Letter to Editor Feb 11, 2007
Tools for Physicians• 5 A’s- Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange
• Americans in Motion (American Academy of Family Physicians)
• Healthier Life Steps (American Medical Association)
• Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
• BUT THIS ISN’T ENOUGH!
What Works to Improve Health Behaviors
Create sense of self-efficacy, address barriers
What Works….Goal Setting
• Listen . . choose ONE behavior & reasonable goal
• Patient should rate confidence of completing the goal at 7/10
What works…Stages of Change
• Identify stage, and move patient along the continuum • Not every patient will enter every stage• Not every stage is the same length

How we raise the bar…Lifestyle Medicine
Competencies
Panel-Developed Definition of Lifestyle Medicine
LM is the evidence-based practice of helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that affect health and quality of life.
Examples of target patient behaviors include but are not limited to eliminating tobacco use, improving diet, increasing physical activity, and moderating alcohol consumption.
Field of Lifestyle Medicine
• LM recognizes the link between lifestyle medicine and health outcomes
• Uses science behind health behavior change
• Emphasizes value of lifestyle medicine prescriptions by physicians
• Emphasizes value of support of those prescriptions by other health professionals
LM Competencies- Summary• Perform comprehensive lifestyle assessments
• Risk assessments
• Patient’s readiness to change modifiable risk factors
• Establish effective relationships and use national guidelines
• Use team approach
• Make referrals
• Use medical information technology to maximize lifestyle medicine care
• Promote healthy behaviors as foundation of health promotion and medical care
• Physician should personally practice a healthy lifestyle
LM competencies (for reference only)
• Leadership• Promote healthy behaviors as foundational to medical care,
disease prevention, and health promotion.• Seek to practice healthy behaviors and create school, work and
home environments that support healthy behaviors.• Knowledge• Demonstrate knowledge of the evidence that specific lifestyle
changes can have a positive effect on patients’ health outcomes.• Describe ways that physician engagement with patients and
families can have a positive effect on patients’ health behaviors.
LM competencies cont.• Assessment Skills• Assess the social, psychological, and biological predispositions of
patients’ behaviors and the resulting health outcomes. • Assess patient and family readiness, willingness, and ability to
make health behavior changes. • Perform a history and physical examination specific to lifestyle-
related health status, including lifestyle “vital signs” such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, body mass index, stress level, sleep, and emotional well-being. Based on this assessment, obtain and interpret appropriate tests to screen, diagnose, and monitor lifestyle-related diseases.
LM competencies cont.• Management Skills• Use nationally recognized practice guidelines (such as those for
hypertension and smoking cessation) to assist patients in self-managing their health behaviors and lifestyles.
• Establish effective relationships with patients and their families to effect and sustain behavioral change using evidence-based counseling methods and tools and follow-up.
• Collaborate with patients and their families to develop evidence-based, achievable, specific, written action plans such as lifestyle prescriptions. – Help patients manage and sustain healthy lifestyle practices, and refer patients to other health care professionals as needed for lifestyle-related conditions.
LM competencies cont.• Use of Office and Community Support• Have the ability to practice as an interdisciplinary team of health
care professionals and support a team approach. • Develop and apply office systems and practices to support
lifestyle medical care including decision support technology• Measure processes and outcomes to improve quality of lifestyle
interventions in individuals and groups of patients. • Use appropriate community referral resources that support the
implementation of healthy lifestyles.
Next steps for competencies
• Increase awareness• Develop training programs• Adapt LMCs to other health professionals• Advocate for wide implementation and integration into
practice• Integrate lifestyle medicine into your practice with easy
first steps
With Every Patient
• Make a point of addressing lifestyle issues with every patient, even briefly• Prescribe lifestyle as the first-line treatment for most
chronic illnesses
Some Options to Consider for Your Practice
• All patients need their lifestyles addressed in the health maintenance section of the plan
• Include a health assessment and readiness assessment for patients to complete in advance or in the waiting room; you may need to verbally address key questions with patients who have low literacy levels
• Identify and/or adapt questionnaires to your patient population—in terms of literacy level and cultural background
• Review responses in advance of visit, if possible, or during the visit to prioritize lifestyle areas which the patient is most ready to address
• Make sure support staff routinely collect lifestyle vital signs: waist circumference, BMI, physical activity level
Some Options to Consider for Your Practice
• Consider lifestyle as first line therapy (rather than a supplement to the treatment plan) for patients with chronic diseases and include it in the treatment plan• Use patient registries to identify and prioritize patients in
need of intensive lifestyle interventions• Refer to other health professionals and community resources
whenever these are available and financially feasible or covered by insurance• Leverage worksite wellness and other programs
If you only have 30 seconds…
• Tell the patient that you believe lifestyle issues are important and would like to address them at the next visit
• Schedule a follow-up visit for the current condition and carve out at least 2 minutes for addressing lifestyle at that visit
• Schedule a prevention visit (Medicare)
If you only have a couple of minutes… • Review lifestyle vital signs (that should be listed in the chart) • Choose one area to address • Ask patient to consider what he/she might be ready/able to
do • State that you will follow-up at next visit
If you have 5 minutes…
• Choose one area of concern that patient is ready to address
• Ask patient about what specific steps he/she could do• Develop a brief action plan—one small step• Check patient’s confidence level• If patient is not ready for an action plan, offer a brief
message appropriate to the patient’s stage of readiness. For example, if the patient is in precontemplation about
an becoming more physically active, review how physical activity can treat a current condition or decrease his risk of a condition of concern.
If you can carve out 10 minutes or more…
• Briefly address two or more lifestyle areas appropriate to the patient’s readiness to make a change; for example with motivational interviewing or developing a brief, specific action plan
