Patient Check-In Best Practices
Guide for patients on completing weekly check-ins and getting the most out of your weight-loss program.
Why Weekly Check-Ins Matter
Regular check-ins help your healthcare provider monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Consistent data leads to better outcomes.
What to Expect
Each weekly check-in takes about 2-3 minutes and includes:
- **Weight Entry**: Enter your current weight in pounds or kilograms
- **Medication Adherence**: Confirm if you took your medication as prescribed
- **Symptom Tracking**: Report any side effects you're experiencing
- **Optional Photo**: Upload a progress photo if desired
Tips for Accurate Check-Ins
Weight Measurement
- Weigh yourself at the same time each day (morning is best)
- Use the same scale consistently
- Wear similar clothing or weigh without clothes
Symptom Reporting
Be honest about any symptoms you're experiencing:
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Constipation
- Other side effects
Rate severity accurately on the 1-10 scale so your provider can help.
What Happens After You Check In
Your provider reviews your data and the Traffic Light system automatically categorizes your status:
- **GREEN**: You're on track
- **YELLOW**: Your provider may reach out
- **RED**: Expect a call within 24 hours
