eClinicalWorks integrates lifestyle medicine tools into electronic health records

eClinicalWorks has released a suite of lifestyle medicine tools within its version 12.0.4 electronic health record (EHR) system. Developed in collaboration with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), the integration aims to incorporate evidence-based interventions into routine clinical workflows.

The new features include tools for comprehensive patient assessments covering nutrition, sleep, and physical activity, as well as progress note templates and dashboards for monitoring clinical outcomes. The system also supports the administration of shared medical appointments and automates patient education materials.

By embedding these capabilities directly into the EHR, the collaboration seeks to address common challenges in primary care, such as the manual coordination required to track lifestyle-related programs. The tools are designed to work alongside existing chronic disease management modules, supporting providers as they pivot toward value-based care models.
