Download or read book The Effect of Physician Assistants as Primary Caregivers on Diabetic Outcomes written by Katie M. Finnigan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Diabetes mellitus is a dysfunction of metabolism affecting more than 25 million Americans and was the 7 th leading cause of death in the United States in 2010. The effectiveness of physician assistants (PAs) in treating patients with diabetes compared to other health care providers such as nurse practitioners (NPs) or physicians is of interest as PAs often care for patients in the primary care setting. Methods: The Weill Cornell Medical College Library online and the PubMed search engine were used to search for articles published between 2003 and 2013. Search terms included "diabetes", "physician assistant", "glycosylated hemoglobin", "glycated hemoglobin", "dietitian", "nutritionist", "diabetes educator" and "diabetes outcomes." Results: The number of articles identified was 673. Only 9 studies met inclusion criteria and 2 studies evaluated the effects of PAs on diabetes outcomes such as hemoglobin A1 (Hgb A1c) and cholesterol levels. Outcomes for NPs, certified diabetes educators (CDEs), and registered dietitians (RDs) were more promising than preliminary results for PAs. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to better evaluate diabetes outcomes when care is primarily delivered by PAs to determine if patient outcomes are comparable, that is, at least as good, as other primary care providers, namely NPs and physicians.

Download or read book Educating Your Patient with Diabetes written by Katie Weinger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes affects an estimated 20 million people in the United States, with many people remaining unaware that they suffer from the disease. While the number of diabetics continues to rise, the number of caregivers who specialize in diabetes treatment does not. In Educating Your Patient with Diabetes, Katie Weinger and Catherine Carver assemble commentary from a panel of leading diabetes practitioners and researchers and put together a highly readable guide to supplying patients with diabetes with the information and ability to successfully cope with their disease. The authors and editors provide substantive data on successful models of diabetes education and the process of educating diabetes sufferers. Additional chapters discuss diabetes in pregnancy, the challenge of weight and diabetes management in clinical practice, and diabetes education in geriatric populations. Timely and accessible, Educating Your Patient with Diabetes is a must have for all diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and endocrinologists who endeavor to support their patients' diabetes self-care efforts and help them maximize the opportunities for patient learning.

Download or read book Do Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants Follow American Diabetic Association Guidelines for Control of Type 2 Diabetes as Determined by the HbgA1c? written by Julia Menetrey and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes Type 2 is the 6 th leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes can lead to multiple organ involvement and morbidity. Importantly, the American Diabetes Association (ADA, 2008) recognizes that for every 1% drop in HgbA1c serum blood level there is a decrease in the risk of complications by 37%. Diabetes management remains suboptimal in U.S. medical centers but even more so in primary care offices. This study utilized a quantitative, descriptive retrospective design which was based on Orem's self-care framework. The setting for data collection occurred at three outpatient offices where Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants function as primary care providers. Convenience samples of 74 charts were reviewed. The charts reviewed were patients greater than 18 years of age with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes, and visited the mid-level provider within the last twelve months. The researcher developed a tool for data collection with the age, race, payment type, HgbA1c, and interventions recommended. Approximately 66.7% of the patients exceeded the ADA guidelines of HgbA1c

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note analyzes quality of care rendered by physicial assistants, who work under a doctor's general supervision in Air Force clinics and care for some patients formerly treated by physicians. It focuses on the technical process of care, and uses data collected with a patient contact record at nine Air Force bases in 1974. For a set of conditions that account for 20 to 25 percent of outpatient visits to clinics dealing with general medicine problems, the analysis shows that physician assistants are performing at least as well as physicians. It is concluded that the Air Force can deliver the same quality of medical care when physician assistants, working under a doctor's general supervision, treat some of the patients formerly seen by physicians.

Download or read book Quality of Care Provided by Physician's Extenders in Air Force Primary Medicine Clinics written by George A. Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluates the quality of care of physician extenders (PEs) (23 physician assistants and seven primary care nurse practitioners) in Air Force primary medicine clinics, as part of an evaluation of PEs assuming care formerly provided by physicians. PEs performed at least as well as M.D.s on 25 out of 28 nonredundant process-of-care criteria. Nurse practitioners met the M.D. standard on 14 of 19 criteria. No major differences were found in PEs' use of ancillary services (laboratory and X-ray) or orders for further care when controlling for case-mix. As expected, PEs consulted M.D.s infrequently, but more often for serious complaints and at rates similar to those found in other PE studies. The study concludes that the Air Force can deliver the same quality of care when PEs treat a sizable proportion of patients formerly treated by M.D.s.
