Authors propose nine-step blueprint for building menopause care programs

A published framework describes menopause care in the United States as limited by inadequate access, insufficient clinician training, and lack of scalable care models, noting no prior published frameworks existed to guide program development. The authors present a nine-step, resource-tiered blueprint informed by implementation science, multidisciplinary care models, and experience from large academic health systems, covering needs assessment, standardized workflows, and workforce capacity building. Case examples reportedly show stepwise adoption across different settings, starting with foundational activities and expanding as resources allow.

Most relevant for: Health systems and clinics seeking to develop or expand coordinated menopause care services for midlife and older women.
