T2DM has become an epidemic with high morbidity and mortality rates. Uncontrolled T2DM is the number one cause of blindness, kidney failure, cardiac problems, and lower extremity amputations. In the United States, the number of patients affected by T2DM is on the rise causing concern over increased financial cost and lost productivity. Nevada is in close comparison with the nation having 7.9% of adults affected compared with 8.3% of adults nationally having T2DM. With the rising problem healthcare providers are in a vital position to increase patient awareness, to develop patient involvement and to improve health care outcomes through education. Ineffective patient education contributes to, and may increase complications from, uncontrolled T2DM. While employed at a rural clinic in Nevada, this project director (PD) recognized a need for T2DM education. Approximately 25% of patients from this clinic had T2DM. The clinic owner reported approximately 10% of these patients went without improvement in lab scores and were in need of education. This PD noted that the staff was not appropriately trained to provide the T2DM patients with education. The need for a system change to train staff in diabetes self-management education (DSME) became evident. The Capstone system change involved the implementation of 'Train the Trainer Program for Diabetes Education.' The Evidence-based framework guiding the system change was Larrabee's Model for Evidence-based Practice Change. The theory, which helped guide the class structure, was the Theory of Goal Attainment developed by Imogene King. This theory believes goals help to achieve success. King's Transaction Process Model was used for class structure, process and outcomes, with the Conceptual Interacting Systems Framework, for building participant interactions in class. The model was also used for participant interactions between trainer/nurse and class participant/patient. This model advised a tool for evaluation using a pre/post test with evaluation for assessment of outcomes. The educational component came from American Diabetes Association (ADA). Evidence-based DMSE was provided on weekly bases for six weeks. Funding was provided by the committe from the state of Nevada program on community development. The results of the system change proved that an evidence-based, cost-effective method for T2DM education in a rural clinic, in Nevada, benefited both patient and staff.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Nationally, 34.2 million people of all ages have diabetes: a total of 1.5 million new cases a year. A lack of diabetic knowledge among the clinical staff can cause a disadvantage in treating and assessing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Clinics that are not performing regular inservice diabetes education with the Medical Assistants (MAs) can significantly impact preventative care measurement and maintenance care. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Framework: The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) guided this project in practice. The PDSA model for EBP helped promote quality care and reinforced the framework and theories of this project. This model focused on processes and outcomes. The clinic utilized evidence-based findings on diabetic care and management to improve and sustain a continuous diabetic inservice training model. The PDSA multi-step model was the best model for this project because it identified the issues, research solutions and implemented a change in the process. Elements of the PDSA Model are to "identify a problem, determine a plan, form a team, and gather evidence. The Kurt Lewin Change Theory provided this project's framework for this project to determine that change was needed for best clinical practice for inservice T2DM teaching. Methods: This was an evidence-based quality improvement project. By utilizing post-test surveys, the project manager effectively assessed learning and rated the effectiveness of diabetic education. The project intended to increase diabetic knowledge and confidence among the clinical staff through the utilization of the Diabetes Initiative Tool (DIT) surveys. The project aimed at concluding a pre-test survey, training with a DIT training presentation, post-test survey, and a final examination. Three medical assistants (MAs) received health coaching/education. The primary outcome was a change in confidence and diabetic knowledge, measured by the pre- and post-test surveys from the DIT. Findings/Results: Educational awareness and the need for continued inservice increased by 75%. The confidence level increased from 73.10% to 94.95%. This was done through documentation after the intervention in the post-survey. The number of staff knowledge and education of diabetes increased by a mean difference of 21 percent points. The MAs confidence level was measured by comparing the DIT survey results before and after the training session. Conclusion/Recommendations: To assess and educate patients with diabetes, providers must incorporate the entire clinical team, including MAs, with the information needed to treat and evaluate patients with diabetes mellitus. The two themes that supported this scholarly project were diabetic education and clinical staff confidence. The final recommendation is for the clinical staff to understand the potential risk associated with diabetes and provide the MAs with primary diabetic education to promote diabetic care and treatment.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes self-management education and support are critical for all patients with diabetes. For diabetes education programs to be effective, they must determine patient status, track changes, provide consistent, organized education, follow up with patients, report to referring providers, and report to the accreditation body. The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to replace paper documentation with an electronic diabetes education tracking system. The utilization of electronic health records improves quality patient outcomes by increasing the efficiency of documentation and retrieval of data. Chronicle Diabetes is an electronic data management system designed specifically for diabetes education. Implementation included working with the Information Technology department, introducing the program to hospital staff, and completing education with the diabetes educator. The training was completed with the diabetes educator, the clinical informatics nurse, and the medical records department. During the data collection phase of the project, thirty-one patients were entered into the Chronicle Diabetes. The project's success was demonstrated by the diabetes educator's increase in efficiency of 60-90 minutes per patient, improved patient outcomes noted by the average decrease in AIC’s and the increase in patient and provider communication. Implementing a diabetes patient tracking system like Chronicle Diabetes improves the consistency of diabetes self-management education and support for patients with diabetes. Well developed electronic health systems improve user satisfaction by streamlining documentation, facilitating patient and provider communication, and enhancing quality care continuity for patients with diabetes.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Disorders" provides managers and clinicians with results from Practice Improvement Collaboratives (PIC) that demonstrate how substance abuse treatment can be improved by increasing the exchange of knowledge between community-based service providers and the research community. The book examines improvement collaboratives and mentoring strategies for adopting and using evidence-based practices. Contributors address how to determine the best treatment processes to serve clients, how to deal with the hurdles faced in preparing and training counsellors, and how to affect the needed changes in agency activities. This unique professional resource responds to an Institute of Medicine report that found a substantial disconnect between research and practice in treatment for drug and alcohol dependence. Focusing on how to make the changes necessary to support the adoption and use of evidence-based practices, the book documents the activities of four sites to illustrate how investigators and treatment practitioners worked together to implement evidence-based practices. Contributors examine the development and early implementation of Practice Improvement Collaboratives, the investigator-provider-policymaker model, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, the use of Opinion Leaders in training, and targeted strategies that take into account the differences in clinician demographics and training. "Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Disorders" is an essential tool for alcohol and drug counsellors, directors of alcohol and drug treatment clinics, and instructors in counsellor training and academic programs.

Download or read book Implementation of a Diabetes Nutritional Education Module for Nurses in Ambulatory Care Medical Clinic written by Geraldine Haughton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) revealed that 9.4% of the US population has diabetes. The number of individuals with diabetes in Brooklyn, where the intervention was conducted, exceeds that of other counties in New York State. Diabetic patients living in Brooklyn are not adequately receiving the medical attention and education they need to fight this debilitating disease. The project site, Kings County Hospital Ambulatory Care Clinic, serves many patients with diabetes, however diabetes nutritional education resources are lacking. Nutrition is a fundamental part of diabetes care. The main goals are to maintain normal blood glucose levels and to prevent complications of diabetes. However, insufficient diabetes education and knowledge continue to be serious challenges for patients. Nurses have also been found to be deficient in their knowledge of diabetes nutrition management and they face a dated evidence-based nutrition program. Thus, the need for nurses' diabetes management education in the ambulatory care setting is paramount. Evidence Base Framework (EBP): Rosswurm and Larrabee's Conceptual Model for Change to Evidence Based Practice offers a systematic process for developing and implementing the practice change. The diabetic educational protocol and intervention utilized the nursing theory underpinnings of Pender. Methods: The objective of the study was to assess the outcome of a diabetes nutrition education intervention among nurses practicing in ambulatory care. The study employed a convenience sample of 35 registered staff nurses working at a large urban ambulatory care clinic. Each of the 35 nurses completed a Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT) before and after the educatio intervention. Descriptive statistics were computed for study variables, and paired t-tests and one sample t-test were used to conduct the inferential analysis of the impact of diabetes education intervention on nurses' diabetes management knowledge as measured by the DKT. Findings/Result: The results of the study suggest that the diabetes education intervention had a significant effect on nurses' diabetes knowledge, causing nurses' DKT scores to increase by over 13 points. Oher results suggest that, prior to intervention, nurses' knowledge of diabetes nutrition information was significantly lower than their knowledge of diabetes non-nutrition information, and that the interventio had a relatively greater impact on diabetes nutrition knowledge than on diabetes non-nutrition knowledge. Conclusion/Recommendations: Given that diabetes educational intervention improves nurses' knowledge of diabetes management, we can expect that, provided with enhanced evidence-based nutrition information, nurses will induce positive behavior changes in their patients. Such changes can result in healthy food choices and improved health. Therefore, the study recommends that large urban ambulatory care settings implement ongoing educational training on diabetes management to increase nurses' knowledge.
