Hi

I was wondering if others had any ideas/suggestions for education re:
BMI and associated diagnoses w/ MDs. We have a standard query -- but, if
anyone had a suggestion for winning over "resistant" MDs, would love to
hear it.

Thanks,
Kara

    Luckily this is not as much of an issue now that we have Epic as the BMI crosses over into most progress notes, but prior to that we would ask the Dieticians to put the BMI in their progress notes. Our physicians are pretty good about saying obesity or morbid obesity.
