Purpose: To describe the characteristics of patients and practice of clinicians during standard-of-care for weight management in a large, multiclinic health system before the implementation of PATHWEIGH, a pragmatic weight management intervention.
Methods: We analyzed baseline characteristics of patients, clinicians, and clinics during standard-of-care for weight management before the implementation of PATHWEIGH, which will be evaluated for effectiveness and implementation in primary care using an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type-1 cluster randomized stepped-wedge clinical trial design. A total of 57 primary care clinics were enrolled and randomized to 3 sequences.

Objective: Treatment of obesity-related diseases, rather than obesity itself, remains the mainstay of medical care. The current study examined a novel approach that prioritizes weight management in primary care to shift this paradigm.
Methods: PATHWEIGH is a weight management approach consisting of staff team training, workflow system management, and data capture from tools built into the electronic medical record (EPIC).
