Food Is Medicine Coalition Releases First-Ever Blueprint to Sustain and Scale Medically Tailored Meals in U.S. Healthcare

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
In the recent episode of BC Food News, Jennifer English discusses the release of the first-ever Blueprint by the Food Is Medicine Coalition, aimed at integrating medically tailored meals into the U.S. healthcare system. Developed in collaboration with the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School, the Blueprint provides a comprehensive roadmap for establishing standards for such food-based interventions, addressing legal, regulatory and operational issues and aligning with healthcare reimbursement pathways. The goal is to transition from pilot programs to long-term, sustainable solutions that can improve health outcomes and fight food insecurity, while reducing healthcare costs. The Blueprint is the collective effort of various stakeholders, including healthcare payers, providers, policy experts, and practitioners. The Blueprint is currently accessible online and could pave way for other Food Is Medicine interventions.
