similar self-management problems and disease-related tasks.

Patients can learn to take day-to-day responsibility for their diseases.

Confident, knowledgeable patients practicing self-management will experience improved health status and use fewer health resources.

Living Well with Chronic Disease

Community Clinical Linkages

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases of our generation.

It represents our culture’s most pressing public health issues.

The focus on prevention is paramount.

In Clinical settings, historically, treatment, has been the focus….this is changing.

In Community settings, prevention, is the focus.

Background

Page 30: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Diabetes Prevention

Type 2 Diabetes can be prevented.

In 2002 in the NE Journal of Medicine, research demonstrating this was published.

Lifestyle change actually outperformed metformin in preventing or delaying Type 2 NIDDM!

Intensive lifestyle change that lasts is imperative.

For the NDPP: 16 weeks, 1x/week, then for 6 additional months, 1x/month

Weekly body mass measures and self report of PA

Two primary measures: Body Mass AND PA (min/week)

Page 31: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

The population of individuals ideal for this programming is all around us.

The Community Clinical linkage is powerful

Advantages: Physician referrals, access to lab results, closes the continuum of care, breaks barriers

Disadvantages: Stigmas with ‘overly-clinical’ approach. Non-compliance rates in Community settings.

Community Clinical combination is ideal blend!

DSME is defined by National Standards

American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes

• Needed for both American Diabetes Association and American Association of Diabetes Educators Recognition

• National Standards Require • That your administration is behind you • That the Diabetes Community has input • A position to coordinate the program and instructors who are

RNs, RDs, pharmacists or CDEs • A Formal Curriculum • Individualized Assessment of the client with diabetes • Ongoing Support • Client meeting his/her personalized goals • Quality Improvement

Page 41: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

DSME assures that we are giving the right information about Diabetes

• Not outdated and sometimes obsolete information

• Current information • Required by the national

standards • Verified through ADA or

AADE Recognition • Often provided by

Certified Diabetes Educators

• Rigorous exam process • Continuing Education in

Diabetes

Why does DSME make a difference? Based on individual assessment of the client

• What’s their life story

• Family history of diabetes?

• Did the family member develop complications?

• What is their greatest concern?

• Can I continue in my occupation?—interstate truck drivers

• Will my insurance pay for my medication?

• What do I do if my co-pays are too high

• And then, there are the “need to knows”

• Meter but can they use the preferred insurance product?

• Insulin Pens desirable product but prior authorization is needed

Page 43: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Diabetes Educator in a DSME

• Work with the PCP for authorization for insulin pen use

DSME is always looking to improve

the quality of education1

• By recognizing that our clients need follow-up support • That our education is culturally sensitive • That our education is age appropriate • That it addresses psychosocial issues such as depression

and competing demands on time • That as Diabetes Educators,

• We always look at health literacy 2

• We always look at numeracy

Where does NH stand with recognized

DSME programs?

Do we have enough recognized programs for our population with diabetes?

Do we have enough certified educators for our population?

Page 49: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Unfortunately No

• Parts of the state are under-served

• If clients are referred, they may have to drive long distances to participate in DSME services.

• Further complicated because Medicare restricts Medical Nutrition therapy by Registered Dietitians on the same day as DSME.

Page 50: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Barriers to Increasing Number of Programs • Difficulty keeping

administrative support because of low revenues

• Reimbursement by Medicare is low; client may have high co-pays and deductible and decline the service

• Cost of recognition $800-$1000

• Record-keeping process is time-consuming but necessary.

• Prescribers don’t always refer

• Clients choose not to participate

Page 51: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

How can we jump the barriers? • Explore providing Recognition

Program Training in NH

• Explore satellite programs • Already recognized program

allows a smaller site to join them

• May be successful if facilities have other contractual relationships

• May ease the financial and record-keeping burden

• Educate prescribers and clients about the benefits of DSME

• Pass national legislation for CDEs to be Medicare Providers

• Allow CDEs to move to less costly facilities

Page 52: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Adequate number of CDEs for NH??? No

• Not just a NH problem but a problem throughout the US

• Department of Health and Human Services and Granite State Diabetes Educators conducted Diabetes Educator Survey

• Results will be shared at Stakeholder’s Meeting

• Preview of a few facts—Aging group of professionals; many are working as Diabetes Educators part time

Page 53: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

Gathering ideas to increase the number of CDEs

• Stakeholders Meeting to discuss survey and brainstorm

• Engage current CDEs to participate in a mentoring program for “CDE want-to-be’s”

• Entice nursing, nutrition, and pharmacy students to think about a career helping those with diabetes and becoming a CDE

Page 54: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

We can do this. We must do this. Our clients with diabetes are

depending on us!!

Lung disease is increasing

• COPD is the third leading cause of death in

the U.S.

• Almost 13 million people have been

diagnosed, but as many as another 12 million

may have the disease and not know it.

Medical costs continue to rise

Page 72: Self Management Programs - SNHAHEC Community Linkages Presentations.pdf · Tend to feel less in contol of their lives ... Taking care of your illness (using medicines, exercise, diet,

• Increasing concern that more emphasis needs to be

placed upon helping patients manage chronic diseases

to improve their quality of life.

• One of the strategies for managing chronic disease is

patient education and support.

• Research has shown that support groups do positively

impact disease management.

• Better Breather Clubs are support groups for people

with chronic lung disease and their loved ones.

Our Credo

77

We will breathe easier when the air in every

American community is clean and healthy.

We will breathe easier when people are free from the addictive

grip of tobacco and the debilitating effects of lung disease.

We will breathe easier when the air in our public spaces and

workplaces is clear of secondhand smoke.

We will breathe easier when children no longer

battle airborne poisons or fear an asthma attack.

Until then, we are fighting for air.
