    7. 7.1 Prevention: Disparities Introduction Underserved Medicare beneficiaries have a higher incidence of diabetes and are more likely to suffer from disease related complications, such as end stage renal disease (ESRD) and lower extremity amputations, than non-underserved Medicare beneficiaries.

    8. 7.1 Prevention: Disparities Introduction CMS has identified three primary reasons for this disparity in outcomes: Underserved beneficiaries do not have easy access to diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs; Underserved do not have preventive services performed as frequently as their non-underserved counterparts; and When preventive services are performed for the underserved, clinical measures such as HgbA1C levels reveal poor control when compared with the non-underserved.

    9. 7.1 Prevention: Disparities Technical Approach

    10. 7.1 Prevention: Disparities Technical Approach To reduce disparities, DF will: Collect, track, and evaluate utilization and clinical measures and prepare reports on relative improvements rates after implementation of a DSME program; Recruit qualified Physician Practices (PP) and Beneficiaries; and Provide qualified trainers, a proven training curriculum (DEEP), and American Diabetes Association-approved educational materials.

    11. 7.1 Prevention: Disparities Technical Approach DC vs MD Highest number of underserved are African Americans Both will benefit from same training, data collection, analysis In MD, the highest percentage of African American Medicare beneficiaries are in Baltimore City and Prince Georges County
