Slide Presentation of the 2007 Annual Meeting of AHRQ

DM Program Components May Target Patients and/or Providers

• Some common DM program interventions:
  • Personal Health Risk Assessment
  • Patient self-management support (education from certified diabetes educator, nurse case manager)
  • Electronic and paper-based guidelines
  • Care teams (MD, CDE, RN, others)
  • Physician education
  • Feedback to providers on guideline compliance, care quality (care audit)
  • Orders support (CPOE)

Notes:

Note: Make the point here that many DM components are not IT related and that a DM program has both IT and non-IT components

Lead with range of programs: patient to providers, then introduce common interventions
