Abstract
The Food is Medicine (FIM) movement posits that food access and knowledge are key parts of disease prevention and treatment, but little research has explored how FIM programs fit into the organizational context of federally qualified health centers (FQHC). The purpose of this study was to explore the organizational climate and clinic staff perspectives on a FIM program being implemented in an FQHC. We conducted a cross-sectional survey study with clinic staff during the early implementation of a clinicbased FIM program. Clinic staff (n=40) perceived that patient nutrition was a high priority for the clinic, but that support for providing nutrition resources was more limited. We found high willingness and likelihood of using the FIM program services among staff, but some expressed concern regarding staffing and cultural appropriateness of programming. Optimal adoption and use of FIM investments in FQHCs may be supported by integration with existing clinical workflows.
食物即医学（FIM）运动认为，食物的获取和知识是疾病预防和治疗的关键部分，但很少有研究探讨 FIM 计划如何融入联邦合格医疗中心（FQHC）的组织环境。本研究旨在探讨联邦合格医疗中心的组织氛围和诊所员工对正在实施的 FIM 计划的看法。在诊所实施 FIM 计划的初期，我们对诊所员工进行了横断面调查研究。诊所员工（40 人）认为患者营养是诊所的重中之重，但对提供营养资源的支持较为有限。我们发现，员工使用 FIM 计划服务的意愿和可能性很高，但有些员工对人员配备和计划的文化适宜性表示担忧。如果能与现有的临床工作流程相结合，就能支持家庭健康管理投资的最佳采纳和使用。
