Delivery System Design

– Introduce the Idea of SelfManagement
– Laboratory (Tests A1c, etc.)
– Immunizations
– Foot Checks
– Referral to CDEs and specialists
18
SelfManagement Support
• Goal setting using the Transtheoretical Model
• Followup phone calls to “checkin”
• Goal Trotter’s Walking Club
• Newsletters

Clinical Information Systems
Data Input into CDEMS Registry
– SelfManagement Goals – A1c – Lab Results – Immunizations – Eye Exams – Smoking Cessations – Medications – Vital Signs

• Consult with local CDE’s regarding questions on diabetes.
• Consult with other community agencies and programs such as the Food Bank, YMCA, and Senior Centers.
