Brief summary
The purpose of the Southeastern Diabetes Initiative Clinical Intervention is to augment existing standard of care in an effort to (1) improve population level diabetes management, health outcomes and quality of life for diagnosed and undiagnosed adults living with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, (2) reduce disparities in diabetes management, health outcomes and quality of life for adults living with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and (3) reduce healthcare costs associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Detailed description
Clinical care will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team including (but not limited to) an physician, nurse practitioner, dietician, pharmacist, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), case manager, health educator and a community health worker. Care will be delivered in community settings including home visits and community based clinics. With the exception of specific surveys (listed in the Study Intervention section) all data are being collected for the purpose of delivery of standard preventive care and clinical care. The population group will include patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in four Southern United States counties, meeting certain inclusion criteria, and deemed high risk as determined by a set of standard criteria or a risk algorithm run on secondary data. The investigators plan to characterize patients diagnosed or at risk for diabetes mellitus, and allow more detailed knowledge of their health than is provided by standard public health data. The investigators will use descriptive, parametric and non-parametric statistics to describe baseline characteristics (demographics and clinical measures of disease severity) of the sample and will compare responders and dropouts on independent and dependent variables, report any significant differences, and include this in the interpretation of results.
