The coordinator is the clinical staff person responsible for program coordination, communication, and reporting. The physician champion is responsible for facilitating program implementation and overseeing the clinical aspects. The facility manager is the administrator directly responsible for overseeing the program; facility managers had different titles in different VHA facilities (eg, associate chief of staff for ambulatory care, primary care service line manager, nutrition/food service chief). Multidisciplinary team members are clinical staff from the 4 core disciplines involved in program delivery: dietetics, primary care, physical activity, and behavioral health. The opinion leader is a primary care physician who is not directly involved in the program but is considered influential in primary care.
