St. Louis – November 03, 2026 -- The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and eClinicalWorks are embedding six lifestyle medicine tools in eClinicalWorks EHR 12.0.4, moving assessment, documentation, patient education and outcomes tracking into clinicians' existing workflows.
Six tools cover assessment through outcomes reporting
The Lifestyle Medicine Whole Person Health Assessment evaluates patients across nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, connectedness and avoidance of risky substances. A progress note template lets clinicians document prescribed interventions and patient goals, including food-as-medicine measures such as produce prescriptions and medically tailored groceries and meals.
Dashboards and reports let clinicians track, trend and report outcomes, while flowsheets monitor clinical measures over time. The package also includes group or shared medical appointment functionality for group-based care delivery, and patient education messaging templates.
Tools run alongside remote monitoring and quality tracking
The tools work with existing eClinicalWorks capabilities for remote patient monitoring, chronic care management and clinical quality measure tracking. The companies say this gives care teams more ways to follow patients between visits and supports value-based care goals.
ACLM and eClinicalWorks see particular potential in outpatient settings and community health centers, where eClinicalWorks is widely used.
Executives frame integration as a scaling lever
ACLM Chief Integration Officer Kaitlyn Pauly said clinicians need practical tools that fit the systems they already use, so they can move from recognizing the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviors to addressing them systematically. eClinicalWorks CEO and cofounder Girish Navani said the collaboration is intended to make evidence-based lifestyle medicine more accessible, actionable and scalable across the healthcare continuum.
Georgia health center cites manual coordination as the gap
Will Koopal, PA-C, DipACLM, of Albany Area Primary Health Care in Georgia, said his organization already connects patients with programs such as FreshRx through eClinicalWorks. What follows, however, requires manual coordination among clinicians and staff for scheduling, billing and patient outcomes. In his words, "Lifestyle medicine shouldn't have to operate as something separate from primary care." He said EHR integration would make it easier to follow participation and engagement and to see changes in measures such as A1c and blood pressure.
