”Hot off the Press, New in JAMA Health Forum: Health Systems Approaches for Advancing Implementation and Policy for Food is Medicine a comprehensive review on integrating food-based nutrition interventions into health care delivery.
Poor nutrition remains the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, contributing to enormous health, economic, and equity burdens in the U.S.
This article highlights how Food is Medicine (FIM) including produce prescriptions, medically tailored groceries, and medically tailored meals can be operationalized through health systems and supported by policy.
What the review covers:
- The FIM Pyramid across prevention and treatment
- Federal and state policy levers to expand nutrition security
- Health system strategies for screening, referral, and delivery
- Research priorities to strengthen evidence and implementation
Integrating FIM could improve cardiometabolic outcomes, reduce disparities, lower health care costs, and advance equity, but requires clinician engagement, research, and supportive policy. ”
