Marketa Wills, M.D., M.B.A., told the Board of Trustees: ‘If we are not getting a full strategic picture, we end up being focused on the day-to-day rather than being future focused.’

The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Eating Disorders aims to enhance knowledge and increase the appropriate use of interventions for eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, thereby improving the quality of care and treatment outcomes. To this end, this evidence-based Performance in Practice tool can facilitate the implementation of a systematic approach to practice improvement for the care of individuals with eating disorders.
