Aligning with Obesity Guidelines: A Quality Improvement Initiative in Pediatric Primary Care
This QI initiative aimed to standardize clinicians' behavior around EMR documentation. A multimodal intervention was able to improve documentation of weight status and counseling measures to >80% of well child check encounters. Future studies are encouraged to investigate whether these changes led to improved patient outcomes.
