MyFitScript™ is ideal for physicians, fitness professionals, community organizations, providers, professional networks, and health plans.
Why is MyFitScript™ focusing on Physical Activity in Healthcare?
- 80% of United States adults and adolescents do not meet the minimal physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes per week of cardiovascular exercise, the amount recommended to maintain good health.
- 50% of what we do and/or don’t do contributes to health outcomes. YET we only spend 4% on healthy behaviors!
- 45% of Americans have at least one chronic condition.
- 75% or more of all deaths are caused by one or more of these few chronic diseases: heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes.
- 80% of older adults have at least 1 chronic disease, and 77% have at least 2.
MyFitScript™ Medical Fitness Model is the ‘ACTIVE Solution’ for wellness, chronic disease prevention and management, disability, and risk factor modification. There’s an ‘ACTIVE solution’ for Providers to provide!
The traditional medical model (REactive) is to treat reactively after the fact. The preventative medical model (PROactive) works to minimize/avoid costly and debilitating outcomes by intervening earlier. Integrating MyFitScript™ Medical Fitness model (ACTIVE Solution) into the continuum minimizes REactive and maximizes PROactive medicine.
Exercise if integrated at the right time within the health continuum may prevent individuals at minimal to at-risk status from reaching high-risk status for disease development. Integrating prescriptive exercise may also reverse the direction of progression to a healthy status.
‘Exercise prescriptions get inactive adults moving’
Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP who is the spokeswoman for the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Exercise is Medicine” campaign says that ‘the study, published in Archives of Internal Medicine (April 17, 2009), is a “milestone” because it proves that exercise prescriptions work’.
Reimbursement, shifting payment models, and value-based care are driving the change in the healthcare industry with all providers, where outcomes = income.
Value is driving healthcare and provides a road map to improved…
- outcomes
- quality of care
- preventable hospitalizations
- self-management of chronic disease
- patient and family engagement and satisfaction scores
- transition and connection to community resources
- lower costs of care
- healthcare delivery
MyFitScript™ is a Medical Fitness Provider bringing value to the healthcare industry by providing an ACTIVE Solution that can be integrated into various healthcare programs in multiple settings.
The problem is complex. The solution is ACTIVE.
Choose MyFitScript™ to be your Medical Fitness Provider for prevention, chronic disease management, risk factor modification and wellness!
A survey conducted by the ACSM showed that 65% of patients would be interested in exercising to stay healthy if advised by their doctor. Only about 41% of doctors talk to their patients about exercise but do not always provide ways to be active.
Patients need more than a ‘talk’. They need to know how to exercise, what to do and how much. They need to know specifically based on physician recommendations, individual functional capacity, disease state, and age.
Consider offering health and fitness coaching and exercise programs for risk stratified patients. Outcomes = Income.

According to a research report released February of 2020 by Fresenius Medical Care, 65% percent of Americans say ‘aging in place’ is a goal of theirs.
Baby Boomers account for 78%!
Over 50% of patients discharged from the hospital go home on self-care. Equally high is the percentage of ‘preventable’ hospital readmissions that are coming from home. Many factors including social determinants of health (SDOH) stand in the way of aging in place and staying independent. ‘Home’ is a unique opportunity for physical activity interventions that can improve Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), mobility and transferring, increase muscle strength and endurance, decrease risk of falls, and improved exercise tolerance and functional ability.
Consider providing exercise and coaching to those that want to ‘age in place’ who can ‘exercise in place’!
