Role of workplace culture in successful lifestyle medicine implementation: a qualitative case series among health systems in the USA.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study investigated how workplace culture may affect the development of lifestyle medicine (LM) programming in health systems to inform the successful growth of LM programs. No study has examined how the impact of workplace culture (shared knowledge, values and behaviours within an organisation) affects practitioners' abilities to engage in LM.
designA cross-sectional, multiple case study investigation of the implementation of LM in five health systems was conducted by administering semi-structured in-depth interviews (n=45) from May 2022 to January 2023. Following the transcription of interviews verbatim, narrative reports depicting each health system's experience with LM were drafted and collectively reviewed by the research team who discussed emerging themes.
settingFive health systems across the USA that have implemented LM were selected based on diversity in size, location, payer model, and patient population.
participantsAdministrative leaders, physicians and other personnel involved in the LM programming from selected health systems were invited to participate.
resultsThe implementation of LM is facilitated when practices such as forming social groups, visually advertising LM and offering plant-based cafeteria items are present to support core values, such as trust, gratitude, collaboration and optimism.
conclusionsLM implementation can be supported by health system clinicians and administrators striving to make their workplaces more supportive and synergetic so that they can take advantage of all available resources. Future research should further explore this relationship between cultural factors and resource availability.
