Identification and mitigation of obesity-related risks to staff and healthcare organisations can occur using patient obesity data; however, a 2017/18 audit of obesity data accuracy was assessed to be poor. This study investigates the results of an intervention to improve obesity data recording and coding accuracy at an Australian hospital.
