Weight-management and metabolic-health programs begin with the person being evaluated. The clinical team assesses treatment appropriateness within the program’s scope and the information available.

Weight & metabolic health
A plan that considers the whole person.
Individual assessment, treatment planning, patient education, monitoring, and ongoing clinical review for weight-management and metabolic-health programs.
How the care is organized
Clinical responsibilities
Education and monitoring
Treatment planning includes patient education, monitoring, and ongoing review. The program needs a clear way to receive questions, communicate next steps, and bring clinical concerns to the appropriate professional.
Independent prescribing
Medication decisions belong with the clinician. Pharmacy operations support communication and fulfillment; they do not determine what is prescribed or pressure a clinician toward a substitution.
For MSO partners
