Despite the compelling evidence supporting the benefits of physical activity, health systems in the United States have not adopted universal implementation plans to provide patients with every opportunity to become physically active. The science of implementing an Exercise is Medicine (EIM) approach has not been well studied nor understood and presents an exciting, fertile opportunity for research. This type of research goes beyond the health benefits from a specific exercise program to examine the characteristics of an intervention that ensure successful adoption, reach and sustainability. This session on Wednesday, June 1 from 1-3 p.m. PST at the EIM World Congress will explore barriers that are encountered by administrators in health systems who have struggled to bring EIM to their patients.  We also seek to learn from their successes to highlight best practices for those members looking to implement EIM within their respective health systems and to potentially identify important research questions that need to be answered.
