1. GO! DiabetesTrain the Trainer Program

2. Practice Performance and Improvement

3. Diabetes Master Clinician Program • A quality assurance program that--- • Promotes excellence in diabetes care • Empowers Patients, Staff and Clinicians to achieve the best possible care • Removes BLAME—throws out the word compliance and states that recognizing and overcoming barriers is the key to success • Addresses Clinician Barriers, Patient Barriers, Staff Barriers and System Barriers

4. Care that is Safe • Effective • Efficient • Equitable • Patient-centered • Timely • Evidenced-based • Institute of Medicine Crossing the Quality Chasm

5. How good is our Health Care • In the past two decades US health care has gone from being a source of National Pride to one of America’s pre-eminent concerns” Porter and Teisberg • “The US spends more on health care than any other industrialized nation ($5000 per person vs. $1500) but ranks at the bottom on standard measures of quality and health status” Commonwealth report and Steve Schroeder • “We have a large gap-chasm between the health care we have and the health care we could have” Institute of Medicine

6. What is the problem with our Health Care System? • It is not that Clinicians do not care • Our system of education and care designed for failure • Working hard but are we working smart? • “A significant part of the Quality problem in Health care is surprising and counterintuitive-Performance is rarely Measured” Donald Berwick MD CEO Institute of Health Care Improvement • “Mandatory measurement and reporting of results is the single most important step in reforming health care” Porter and Teisberg

7. Diabetes as a Model for Reform • Nationally many patients not receiving adequate care • Reaching ADA goals?? 48% reach HbA1c <7%, 33% reach LDL <100 and B/P < 130/80—7% all three • Excellent evidence (DCCT & UKPDS) that reducing HbA1c 1% ↓ blindness, renal disease and neuropathy 33% • Reaching goal for LDL and B/P ↓ MI and stroke 30 to 40% • Significant Cost Savings when goals are reached

15. The DMCP Diabetes Registry What are some possible strategies to improve excellence in diabetes care?

16. Diabetes Change Agents • Utilize the diabetes registry report card with every patient with diabetes • Develop a team system to encourage accountability • Standing protocol orders for staff to implement

17. Impact of Medical Assistants Over 8 month Period in 140 Patients • MA gave patients and physicians report cards • MA did the monofilament exams • MA ordered tests per protocol

18. Diabetes Change Agents:Three Month Goal – July 1, 2009 • Blood Pressure -Actively manage hypertension at every visit with a goal of <130/80 -Goal of 50% of patients blood pressure <130/80 • Aspirin -Recommend all patients with diabetes to take an 81mg ASA daily, unless contraindicated -Document aspirin use on medication list for 50% of patients

19. METRIC • Metric stands for Measuring, Evaluating, and Translating Research Into Care. • It is an innovative online practice improvement program where you will input records of 10 diabetic patients prior to today and again within 90 days. • www.aafp.org/metric
