Slide Presentation of the 2007 Annual Meeting of AHRQ

Obesity: template-based measure

• Template used with boxes checked for
  • Acknowledgement of weight
  • Counseling on specific nutrition and exercise topics
  • Referral to nutritionist or weight management center

Notes:

But with templates, we can count the number of times the template was used and look at what boxes were checked to see if the physician acknowledged the child's weight, gave counseling on specific nutrition and exercise topic, or referred to nutritionist or weight management center
