• Consider bariatric surgery:
(BMI ≥35)

a. All patients with BMI ≥25 have either overweight or obesity stage 0 or higher, depending on the initial clinical evaluation for presence and
severity of complications. These patients should be followed over time and evaluated for changes in both anthropometric and clinical diagnostic
components. The diagnoses of overweight/obesity stage 0, obesity stage 1, and obesity stage 2 are not static, and disease progression may warrant
more aggressive weight-loss therapy in the future. BMI values ≥25 have been clinically confirmed
to represent excess adiposity after evaluation for muscularity, edema, sarcopenia, etc.
b. Stages are determined using criteria specific to each obesity-related complication; stage 0 = no complication; stage 1 = mild to moderate;
stage 2 = severe.
c. Treatment plans should be individualized; suggested interventions are appropriate for obtaining the sufficient degree of weight loss generally
required to treat the obesity-related complication(s) at the specified stage of severity.
d. BMI ≥27 is consistent with the recommendations established by the US Food and Drug Administration for weight-loss medications.

OBESITY CHRONIC CARE MODEL
Obesity is a chronic disease that has become increasingly responsible for patient suffering and social costs worldwide.
The conceptualization of obesity as a lifestyle choice and primarily a cosmetic concern is not only debunked by scientific
evidence, but has failed our patients and our societies. With improved efficacy and an increased range of treatment
options, it is incumbent that the full force of our medical chronic care model (CCM) be brought to focus on obesity
prevention and treatment. This shift can only be achieved through activated health care systems, as well as regulatory and
legislative measures that ensure patient access to therapies of proven benefit. The American Association of Clinical
Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) Comprehensive Clinical Practice Guidelines
for Medical Care of Patients with Obesity represent an evidence-based CCM that emphasizes weight-loss therapy directed
at the prevention and treatment of obesity-related complications. This clinical practice guideline (CPG) approaches obesity
as a chronic medical illness that is a source of morbidity, mortality, and compromised quality of life. The guidelines target
more aggressive treatment for patients with weight-related complications who benefit most from weight loss and as such,
optimize benefit/ risk ratios and cost-effectiveness (i.e., the “complications-centric” approach). The medical CCM
promulgated by these guidelines is not isolated but exists within the context of our larger health care system, communities,
governments, and societies. Therefore, a CCM for obesity must become an operational, integral component of the health
care system and be embraced by the larger society to optimally benefit patients in particular and public health in general.
Introduced in the 1990s, the general concept of the CCM for disease management was designed for primary care
practice settings and credited with improving clinical outcomes (1,2). The core aspiration is that patients become activated
and empowered, while health care systems become prepared and proactive. In general, there are 3 interrelated settings for
the CCM: community, health care system, and provider organization (private practice, health center, integrated system,
etc) (3). The 6 integrated components of the AACE/ACE Obesity CCM are as follows:
 Component 1: Built Environment (contextualization; community resources, laws, and policies; safe public
spaces for physical activity, lifestyle education, self-help, and socialization; and minimization of adverse
obesogenic drivers; includes home and workplace)
 Component 2: Healthcare System (recognition and prioritization of health promotion and obesity prevention,
with a favorable economic model [payment reform] that engages health care professionals [primary care and
specialists] and patients, while making comprehensive, evidence-based obesity care affordable and accessible)
 Component 3: Decision Support (creation and electronic implementation of evidence-based CPGs for
comprehensive, complications-centric obesity care)
 Component 4: Delivery System Design (creation and coordination of an obesity care team that is available for
routine patient encounters and oriented toward management of both acute and chronic issues; includes lifestyle,
pharmacotherapy, and bariatric procedures)
 Component 5: Clinical Information Systems (routine patient care, CPGs, interactive/feedback, and registries)
 Component 6: Self-Management Support (education, behavioral medicine, follow-up, and feedback regarding
obesity care; recognition by the patient of need for obesity prevention and care)
Effective integration of the components of this CCM is central to successful implementation and realization of
superior clinical outcomes in comprehensive, complications-centric obesity care. The specific processes for a
CCM have been described as building blocks (4) and are described here in the context of the AACE and ACE
Obesity CCM:
 Block 1: Engaged Leadership (commitment to transformative care and focus on health promotion, obesity
prevention, and comprehensive, complications-centric obesity management to improve patient health)
 Block 2: Data-Driven Improvement (evidence-based interventions and metrics; use of registries; properly
designed clinical trials)
 Block 3: Empanelment (linking patients with an obesity care team and primary care clinician; basis for
performance metrics)
 Block 4: Team-Based Care (team leaders [primary care physician, endocrinologist, or other obesity specialist
AND advanced practice professional] and support [nurse, registered dietitian, behaviorist, psychologist,
pharmacist, physical activity trainer, social worker, etc])
 Block 5: Patient-Team Partnership (empowered, activated patient with a prepared, proactive practice that is
empathetic and supportive; physician that promotes personal health behaviors; motivational interviewing, shared
decision-making, and trustworthy relationships)
AACE/ACE Obesity CPG, Endocr Pract. 2016;22(Suppl 3) 203

 Block 6: Population-Based Care (routine health promotion and coaching with preventive services; use of
specialized teams for patients with specific weight-related complications; family-oriented care that addresses
childhood obesity; identification of relevant metrics [e.g., weight, body mass index, waist circumference, target
blood pressure, target lipids, target renal and liver function, symptom relief, performance, and reduction of
major adverse cardiac events])
 Block 7: Continuity of Care (linked to all blocks and necessary for effective CCM; requires payment reform)
 Block 8: Enhanced Access to Care (includes nights and weekends and adds capacity to meet demand; uses e-
visits, phone visits, group visits, telemedicine visits, efficient use of obesity team members, and payment
reform)
 Block 9: Comprehensive Coordinated Care (primary care, weight loss, weight-related complications, other
specialized care; accountability by primary care; includes outpatient, inpatient, and long-term care; infrastructure
for appointment logistics, transportation, interpretation, comfort and safety, electronic connectivity, and
information-sharing)
 Block 10: Alternative Encounters (payment reforms to drive and facilitate novel modalities for each of the
above blocks to optimize obesity care)
In conclusion, a contemporary AACE/ACE Obesity CCM focuses on an upstream approach (3) that promotes general
health and prevents obesity as a disease state while providing downstream comprehensive, complications-centric, disease
management. The CCM uses evidence-based treatment guidelines for obesity to define a concerted approach, which is
required to stem the increasing suffering and social costs of this disease. The above text, recommendations in the
Executive Summary, explanations and evidence base in Appendix 1, and the pictorial algorithm in Appendix 2 contribute
detail to the AACE/ACE Obesity CCM provided in Figure 1.
