Diabetes is a complex, chronic illness requiring continuous medical care with multifactorial risk-reduction strategies beyond glycemic control. The Advancing Care Delivery to Improve Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in High-Risk Patients with Type 2 Diabetes online series will increase health care professional’s level of confidence in assessing their patients’ profile and needs, improve their knowledge of the available T2D treatment options (to include novel agents), and enhance their ability to educate, inform, and treat at-risk patients by pursuing the most effective (and guideline recommended) treatment plans.
Assess barriers to quality of care and effective management of patients with T2D.
Identify key themes to improve patient safety, continuity of care, and enhanced patient/provider communications/interactions, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deploy and measure impacts of an educational intervention that aims to directly improve.
The online series is designed for primary care and internal medicine practitioners, endocrinologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, allied health professionals, and those who treat patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
