Purpose: A lifestyle front office (LFO) in the hospital is a not yet existing, novel concept that can refer patients under treatment in the hospital to community-based lifestyle interventions (CBLI). The aim of this study was to identify implementation barriers and facilitators regarding the implementation of an LFO in the hospital from the perspective of CBLI-professionals and to develop evidence-based implementation strategies to reduce these identified barriers.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews until data saturation, with 23 lifestyle professionals working in the community.

Article Synopsis
- A dedicated lifestyle front office (LFO) can enhance patient-centered lifestyle care by connecting healthcare with community-based initiatives, crucial for preventing noncommunicable diseases.
- The LOFIT study will conduct two randomized controlled trials in the Netherlands focused on patients with (cardio)vascular and musculoskeletal disorders, comparing an intervention group receiving lifestyle coaching to a usual care control group.
- The primary outcome will measure health risk and lifestyle factors through a composite score, while secondary outcomes will assess various health markers and patient behaviors.
