Workplace culture is a crucial factor in the successful implementation of lifestyle medicine programs within health systems, a recent study published in BMJ Open has found. The study, which involved case studies of health systems with diverse characteristics such as size, location, payer model, and patient population, highlighted the importance of a supportive workplace culture in facilitating the adoption of lifestyle medicine practices.

More than 40 individuals from various health systems, including administrative leaders, physicians, and other team members involved in lifestyle medicine programs, participated in the data collection. The findings revealed that practices such as providing resources to support collaborative groups, visually advertising lifestyle medicine, and offering healthy plant-based meal options in cafeterias contributed to the successful implementation of lifestyle medicine programming.

Participants emphasized that a supportive workplace culture played a key role in both initiating and sustaining lifestyle medicine programs. This culture was defined as one where social resources were available, the physical environment supported lifestyle medicine behaviors, and colleagues engaged in lifestyle medicine practices themselves. Effective communication of values such as trust, gratitude, collaboration, and optimism also indicated a supportive workplace culture.

Dr. Joel Gittelsohn, a senior investigator on the study from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, praised the findings as informative and valuable. He highlighted the importance of sharing successful models of lifestyle medicine implementation to inform the efforts of other health systems looking to integrate these services.

An increasing number of health systems, including NYC Health + Hospitals and the U.S. military, are embracing evidence-based lifestyle medicine to deliver comprehensive care and achieve better health outcomes, lower costs, improved patient satisfaction, provider well-being, and health equity. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s Health Systems Council now includes 116 member health systems from 38 states.

Lifestyle medicine focuses on using lifestyle interventions to treat chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Certified clinicians in lifestyle medicine are trained to apply evidence-based lifestyle changes to treat and often reverse these conditions. By emphasizing pillars such as a plant-predominant diet, physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, social connections, and avoidance of risky substances, lifestyle medicine offers effective prevention and treatment strategies.

In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of a supportive workplace culture in advancing the implementation of lifestyle medicine programs within health systems. Strong leadership support, organizational commitment, and a culture that promotes healthy lifestyle behaviors are key facilitators in integrating lifestyle medicine practices successfully. By sharing best practices and experiences, health systems can enhance their efforts to promote holistic care and improve health outcomes for patients.
