Book Synopsis The Effect of Physician Assistants as Primary Caregivers on Diabetic Outcomes by : Katie M. Finnigan
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.

Book Synopsis Do Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants Follow American Diabetic Association Guidelines for Control of Type 2 Diabetes as Determined by the HbgA1c? by : Julia Menetrey
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

Book Synopsis Guiding Principles for Diabetes Care: for Health Care Professionals by : National Diabetes Education Program
Download or read book Guiding Principles for Diabetes Care: for Health Care Professionals written by National Diabetes Education Program and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Guiding Principles for Diabetes Care: For Health Care Professionals provide an overview of the key elements of early and intensive clinical diabetes care and prevention. They form the basis of the National Diabetes Education Program's (NDEP's) public and professional awareness programs. The principles are based on the best level of evidence available, and key sources are noted. The NDEP adopts guidelines developed by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and many have been incorporated into these guiding principles. Numerous other guidelines are available and some are noted in this document. It is essential that in practice, health care professionals focus on the similarities rather than the differences in diabetes-related guidelines. This document also provides links to supporting resources and further information. As the proportion of both minority populations and people aged 60 and older increases in the United States, and the obesity epidemic continues, people with diabetes are becoming a larger part of the practices of family physicians and other primary care clinicians. Health care professionals involved in new or expanding diabetes care practices can use these guiding principles to ensure that they provide essential components of comprehensive diabetes care. In addition, health care payers, managed care organizations, and large employers can use this information to establish diabetes care principles and to assure quality diabetes care and treatment options in health plans. NDEP encourages people with or at risk for diabetes and their families to participate actively with their health care team to plan and implement their care. While these principles serve as a guide for diabetes prevention and management, each person and his or her health care team should determine a specific prevention or management plan. Team care is essential for effective diabetes prevention and management. Team structure is best determined by the practice setting. Teams should be led by the most appropriate health care professional, and may include primary care physicians, diabetes educators, endocrinologists, dietitians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physician assistants, psychologists, dental professionals, exercise professionals, social workers, specialists for care of the eye, foot, heart, and kidney, and others as necessary. Many of these team members also may be certified diabetes educators. Trained lay educators such as “promotores” and community health workers can be effective team members. Other elements of importance to the delivery of diabetes care, in addition to team care, such as creating a patient registry, assessing practice needs, implementing processes of care, connecting to community resources, and evaluating outcomes are presented in detail on www.BetterDiabetesCare.nih.gov. This website provides tools and resources to help health care professionals implement systems changes. Early identification and management of pre-diabetes can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. In people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, ongoing comprehensive diabetes care, including the ABCs of diabetes (A1C for glucose, Blood pressure, and Cholesterol), can prevent or control diabetes-related microvascular and macrovascular complications. With proper medical management, education, self-care, and attention to behavior, social, and environmental factors, people with diabetes and pre-diabetes can live long, active, and productive lives.

Book Synopsis The Quality of Air Force Outpatient Care by : George A. Goldberg
Download or read book The Quality of Air Force Outpatient Care written by George A. Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 60 pages. 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.
