However, little is known about the exercise documentation in family-physician records.

Extracted information included year, geographic origin, data input structure, input frequency and content of exercise inputs in family physicians\u2019 electronic medical records. The primary outcomes are the structure, purpose and frequency of inputs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of a possible 1758 documents, 83 remained after a title and abstract scan and 22 after a full-text review. These documents included 32 findings of physical activity\/exercise medical record documentation: counselling\/advising patients (50.0%), status (12.5%), embedded questionnaires (12.5%), status as a risk factor (12.5%), health promotion documentation (6.3%), inactivity status (3.1%) and grading (3.1%). The frequency of exercise inputs in primary care records vary from as low as 0.4% of patients with documentation of physical activity health promotion inputs to as high as 87.8% of patients with exercise or physical activity status recorded. The majority of included documents (63.6%) were focused on patients with identified chronic conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings suggest that the structure and purpose of exercise documentation is often unclear or unspecified. Studies that present exercise information from family-physician medical records tend to focus on patients with specific chronic conditions and present little detail about the field from which information was extracted. The review found that the proportion of patients with physical activity or exercise information is often less than half.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-034542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,13]],"date-time":"2020-02-13T04:05:30Z","timestamp":1581566730000},"page":"e034542","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["The extent to which family physicians record their patients\u2019 exercise in medical records: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2851-265X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cliff","family":"Lindeman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"},{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashley","family":"McCurdy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carminda G","family":"Lamboglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brendan","family":"Wohlers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anh N Q","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Sivak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coutts Library, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8485-1336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John C","family":"Spence","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121400185949000_10.2.e034542.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HCO.0000000000000437"},{"key":"2025121400185949000_10.2.e034542.2","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
