Considering the Risks, It’s Remarkable How Many Diabetics Neglect Their Condition: 

Considering the Risks, It’s Remarkable How Many Diabetics Neglect Their Condition 18%: Poor control of their blood sugar 37%: No eye exam in past year 45%: No foot exam in past year Diabetics in 2002 Source: Saddine JB, Engelfau MM, Beckles GL, et al. A diabetes report card for the United States: quality of care in the 1990s. Ann Intern Med. 2002;136:565-74. It’s obvious we have a large-scale health problem on our hands

To Address the Challenge, We First Need Leadership from the Medical Community: 

To Address the Challenge, We First Need Leadership from the Medical Community Example: California Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP) Source: Personal Communication. California Academy of Family Physicians, 2005. “The over-arching strategy is directed at inducing organizational changes in physicians’ offices to better accommodate disease-management systems and streamline patient care to lead to improved efficiency and greater provider and patient satisfaction.” – Eric Ramos, M.D. President, CAFP

CAFP’s Diabetes Initiative: 

CAFP’s Diabetes Initiative Lumetra CAFP UCSF Department of Family and Community Medicine UCSF Collaborative Research Network Traditional & electronic platforms Expanded treatment guidelines Outcome measures Patient education (& self-management) Public awareness Legislative linkages Expanded Clinical Education Comprehensive Practice Redesign Family involvement in care team Disease registries Group office visits Open access scheduling Electronic health records Leverage technology Source: Personal Communication. California Academy of Family Physicians, 2005. Effectively addressing a complex disease requires a strategic plan that reforms daily care practices in the office, community, and home.
