The solutions provided by betterMD.net are research-based and follow the guidelines for obesity treatment laid out by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), as well as the American College of Physicians (ACP). In addition, betterMD.net has the expertise (over seventeen years of clinical practice) to tailor a weight management program that fits your needs.
We know successful weight management requires comprehensive integration of dietary, exercise, and behavioral counseling under direct medical supervision. We help coordinate the efforts of this "team" and facilitate the free flow of mission-critical information via our secure web-based platform, vCAT™.
The key to establishing and maintaining a successful program is value.
First and foremost, your patients must achieve significant weight loss in the first few weeks of their prescribed treatment plan. Experience has shown us that patients who achieve strong initial results are more likely to achieve greater weight loss and better long-term weight maintenance. For your patients, this represents value.
Nutritionally complete, high-protein meal replacements work... plain and simple.
Research demonstrates that our Total Meal Replacement (TMR) and Partial Meal Replacement (PMR) food plans, combined with regular exercise and clinical follow-up, will deliver 4 to 10 or more pounds of weight loss in the first 2 weeks. Obviously, this amount will vary, but in the vast majority of cases, these meal replacements are well tolerated, and very safe and effective when taken as prescribed.
Manage a comprehensive solution with less risk, time and costs...
Our Virtual Clinic Application tool (vCAT™) is at the heart of betterMD.net. This centralized information system allows your staff to record, search and examine all the information collected during weight management related visits... from any of your locations.
This means your staff will have 24/7 access to all relevant information from previous visits, which increases efficiency. In addition, vCAT™ contains protocol-driven tools that assist staff in choosing appropriate treatment options, designing meal plans, and documenting clinical visits.
vScribe™ secure messaging platform
Now you can communicate securely (with automatic charting features built-in). vScribe™ messages are encrypted and stored on our internal network, so they are never sent in the clear over the Internet. This feature enables providers to communicate with patients, as well as other team members, and these communications are available for review by all team members.
