Description:
Diabetes is not an uncommon condition in today’s healthcare systemthe U.S.. This high-volume condition can be managed very effectively, but diabetes disease management can also become very complicated. How can patients learn to manage their own diabetes? What strategies are most effective in teaching patient self-care? By creating an action plan with their patients, primary care providers can not only help to improve patient outcomes, but they can also empower the patients to take a bigger role in their own their disease management. When patients take on more responsibility for their care, resources (both time and economic) are freed up and can be allocated to other patients or areas of need. However, creating an action plan requires input from both the primary care provider and the patient, and no two plans are likely to be the same. Factors such as finances, living situation, or other social determinants of health must all must be considered when putting together a plan. A patient’s diet may also play a role. In this module, the topics of action plans, the social determinants of health, and nutritional counseling will be explored.
The goal of this course is to provide case/care management, nursing, and social work professionals with information about diabetes management.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify challenges to the successful and cost-effective management of diabetes for patients and providers.
• Differentiate the components of a diabetes action plan and the information it provides.
• Select ways healthcare professionals can help patients become more comfortable with and adept at self-management of diabetes.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
