Electronic health records tools for treating obesity among adult patients in primary care: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electronic health record (EHR)-based tools, such as clinical decision support systems (CDSS), support practitioners to promote evidence-based care, which may include obesity treatment.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review to identify and map available evidence using a search strategy for citations in MEDLINE from February 2009 to June 2024. We extracted information from included studies that described EHR-based CDSS tools designed to support obesity care (e.g., clinical decision support, counseling) for adult patients in primary care settings. We mapped
