Report Status: Report not posted

Related Content: none

Project Summary: The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is committed to enhancing health outcomes for families and communities through the integration of lifestyle medicine into mainstream primary care. Emphasizing collaboration and partnership development, this project will break down silos by identifying ways to align strategies, programs, and processes across primary care providers, public health, and community-based organizations using whole person health approaches through a health equity framework.

The proposed resources will help establish the nomenclature and a shared language for understanding across family medicine, public health, and community-based organizations. The goals for this project are to 1) Leverage existing materials and develop resources to increase awareness and understanding of the whole person health approach among AAFP members; 2) Provide support and technical assistance to a cohort of family medicine practices; and 3) Document lessons learned and disseminate findings across public health, lifestyle medicine, and family medicine audiences.

Anticipated outcomes of this project are 1) Increased availability and access to technical assistance, products, and other resources; 2) Increased awareness and understanding of whole person health concepts among AAFP members; and 3) Increased awareness of findings and tools. This project will strengthen the system infrastructure needed to equitably implement whole person health approaches into family medicine.

Grantee: American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation

Year Funded: 2023

Project Summary: Success in value-based care (VBC) requires physicians and their care teams to embrace population health advanced primary care capabilities that are highly aligned with the core principles of lifestyle medicine. The AAFP’s Value-Based University (VBU) Toolkit will provide a compendium of educational and practical resources to support success under the expectations of value-based payment (VBP) to a range of learners and applicable in a variety of situations such as residency programs developing VBC curriculum, organizations transitioning from a fee-for-service orientation centered on identifying and managing illness to value-based care that is person-centered and focused on health improvement and prevention. 

The VBU course content described in this proposal is designed to catalyze VBC success with lifestyle medicine principles and equip family physicians with this essential knowledge and skill set to succeed in VBC. The proposed educational modules address a range of topics organized into self-guided modules that allow the learner to curate a custom educational experience. These components of the VBU Toolkit will support physicians and their teams delivering VBC in a wide variety of settings. Incorporating Lifestyle Medicine education into the toolkit facilitates making this practice central to the future of VBC. To help close equity gaps and ensure the most vulnerable patients receive high quality, whole person care is incorporated into their care plans and health goals.
