We’ve seen an explosion in the demand for personalized nutrition over the last 5 years. In 2020, the global market was worth an estimated 8.2 billion US dollars, but that figure is expected to double by 2025.
This obviously presents a huge opportunity for those working in the holistic patient care/ integrative medicine space. If you’re not offering nutritional plans and lifestyle recommendations right now, you’ve likely thought about it over the past few years. And if you are offering it right now, you might be struggling to manage it in a way that ensures patient engagement.
The good news is that Cerbo can help!
Here’s how.
Cerbo’s EHR system is designed to simplify this process by providing a platform where all relevant patient data can be accessed and updated in real time, allowing for seamless collaboration and more efficient care.
For instance, when a healthcare provider creates a custom nutrition plan within Cerbo’s EHR, they can easily integrate it with the patient’s medical record, making it accessible to the entire care team.
It empowers you to:
For example, if a patient’s initial weight loss meal plan is not producing the desired results, the provider can use the data within the EHR to identify areas for improvement and modify the plan accordingly.
This level of personalization and adaptability is key to achieving long-term health goals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to meal planning, Cerbo’s EHR supports nutrition coaching by allowing coaches to document their sessions and track the patient’s adherence to the nutrition plan.
Coaches can also set reminders for follow-up sessions, ensuring that patients stay on track with their healthy habits and meal prep routines. This level of integration and organization makes it easier for healthcare providers to deliver consistent and personalized care.
At the same time, Cerbo’s EHR system includes features that help reduce food waste by providing patients with grocery lists based on their meal plans. These grocery lists can be customized to include only the items needed for the patient’s meal prep, helping them avoid over-purchasing and ensuring that they stick to their nutrition plan.
This not only supports the patient’s health goals but also promotes sustainable eating practices.
Cerbo’s is designed to integrate seamlessly with third-party tools, allowing healthcare providers to access comprehensive data that supports the development of personalized custom nutrition plans.
Our EHR can integrate with wearable devices that monitor physical activity, sleep patterns, and other vital metrics. This data can be used to create a more holistic view of the patient’s lifestyle, allowing healthcare providers to make more informed decisions about their meal plans and nutrition coaching.
Customizing Nutrition Plans for Specific Health Conditions
Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or autoimmune disorders require specialized dietary recommendations that support their overall treatment.
Cerbo’s EHR system enables healthcare providers to create and manage these customized plans with precision, ensuring that each patient’s nutrition plan is aligned with their medical needs.
For instance, a patient with diabetes may need a customized meal plan that focuses on controlling blood sugar levels while meeting their nutritional requirements.
Cerbo’s EHR allows providers to:
Similarly, patients with heart disease may benefit from a nutrition plan that emphasizes heart-healthy foods, such as those low in sodium and saturated fats.
Or you may be looking to create custom nutrition plans for patients with autoimmune disorders, who may need to avoid certain foods that trigger inflammation. The system allows providers to document the patient’s food sensitivities and develop a meal plan that minimizes these triggers while ensuring the patient receives balanced nutrition.
One of the key challenges in implementing personalized custom nutrition plans is helping patients make lasting behavioral changes. Cerbo’s EHR system supports this process by providing tools for ongoing monitoring, feedback, and adjustments to the nutrition plan and lifestyle recommendations.
For example, if a patient struggles with sticking to their weight loss meal plan, the provider can use the data within Cerbo’s EHR to identify the challenges they face, such as difficulties with meal prep or a lack of motivation.
The provider can then offer personalized advice, such as simplifying the meal plans or providing additional resources for healthy eating habits. This ongoing support helps reinforce positive behaviors and encourages patients to make sustainable changes.
Cerbo’s EHR also allows providers to set up automated reminders and alerts that help patients stay engaged with their custom nutrition plans.
For instance, patients can:
These reminders help keep patients accountable and ensure they are actively participating in their care.
This is only a taste of what Cerbo can do to help streamline your practice’s operations. We would love to show you more!
