STFM Conference on Practice and Quality Improvement 2024 Opening Session | Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Scientific Wellness is described by Leroy Hood and Nathan Price as predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory (4Ps). Scientific Wellness is data rich with recommendations based on the latest information from human biology and aging. Scientific Wellness is a transformation from a disease center model of care to one that focused on health and wellness. With a focus on comprehensiveness and healing relationships with patients, Family medicine is ideally suited to lead this transformation. In order to be successful in the development of Scientific Wellness, leaders and educators in family medicine will need to embrace this futuristic model of patient care. This presentation will provide a vision and strategies for transforming to Scientific Wellness.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Understand the 4P principles of Scientific Wellness
- Have a vision for transforming patient care from being disease centered to wellness centered
- Understand strategies for teaching and providing Scientific Wellness to a group of patients and a community
