Lifescripts – Helping to address Lifestyle Risk Factor Management About the Program ( Factsheet)The Lifescripts Program provides GPs and practice staff with quality resources to assess, assist and support patients to make and maintain positive lifestyle changes. Lifescripts provides general practice access to quality tools and resources. The program aims to raise awareness within the community about the lifestyle risk factors for chronic disease, including, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity, weight management and smoking.
Implementing Lifescripts involves: - Discussing risk factors with patients.
- Setting lifestyle change goals.
- Providing written or electronic lifestyle prescriptions.
- Organising ongoing review of lifestyle risk factors.
- Referring patients to other services that support healthy lifestyle choices.
Lifescripts is designed to suit practices at all stages of readiness or willingness to integrate prevention into their routines. Small incremental changes that build on a practice’s current capacity can change the culture, effectiveness and efficiency of the existing approach to lifestyle risk management.
