The Obesity 004 indicator is achieved by referring patients living with obesity to a weight management programme within 90 days of the BMI being recorded. Our automated BMI calculator can support this by offering patients the opportunity to be referred to a weight management programme.
The Obesity 005 indicator is achieved by recording a shared decision-making discussion about the management of obesity and offering NICE approved medicines management (pharmacotherapy) for use in a primary care setting with accompanying referral to suitable behavioural support programme. Currently our system only flags up where this is indicated for a patient but we are looking at how we can provide additional support with this indicator.
We've now updated our resources and you can see more about how we can help manage here - Weight
