Multi-stakeholder perspectives on the implementation of a clinic-based food referral program for patients with chronic conditions : a qualitative examination

Clinic-based food referral programs (FRPs) may help alleviate food insecurity and improve access to nutritious foods by systematically identifying and referring food-insecure primary care patients to community-based food resources. The purpose of this study was to examine the barriers to and facilitators of implementation of an FRP offered to primary care patients who screen positive for food insecurity and have a qualifying chronic condition. we used a multi-stakeholder approach to conduct semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers and administrators from an academic medical center (AMC) (n = 20), representatives of a regional foodbank and its affiliated pantries (n = 11), and patients referred to the FRP (n = 20), during the initial phase of FRP implementation from April to September 2020. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded using a deductive dominant approach that allowed for the identification of emergent themes. Seven major themes emerged across the two domains of analysis: barriers to and facilitators of FRP implementation. Key barriers were (a) provider time constraints and competing demands; (b) inadequate physician feedback regarding patient use of the program; (c) patient transportation barriers; and (d) stigma associated with food pantry use. Key facilitators of implementation included (a) program champions; (b) screening and referral coordination; and (c) addressing food pantry-related stigma. This study identifies factors that deter and facilitate the implementation of an AMC-based FRP. Our findings highlight opportunities for healthcare and community-based organizations to refine and optimize FRP models toward the ultimate aim of advancing health equity for food-insecure patients.
