Disease Management Webinar — The Impact of a Diabetes
Medical Home on Practice Work Flow, Patient Outcomes
and Healthcare Costs
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), yearly overall healthcare costs for a patient with diabetes were $11,744 in 2007, and 57 percent — $6,649 — of that cost was directly attributed to diabetes. Moreover, one in five healthcare dollars on a patient with diabetes, and one in ten healthcare dollars is attributed to diabetes. To counteract this spending, it several organizations are having success with diabetes medical homes, which can pay off by providing cost-effective, patient-centric care.
During “Building a Diabetes Medical Home: The Impact on Practice Work Flow, Patient Outcomes and Healthcare Costs,” a webinar on March 19,, 2008, the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) will provide the inside details on implementing the medical home model to improve outcomes for diabetes care.
February 22, 2008
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — Organizations are beginning to report their successes from treating diabetes through the use of medical homes, and growing evidence suggests that effective management of diabetes reduces complications and healthcare costs. “Building a Diabetes Medical Home: The Impact on Practice Work Flow, Patient Outcomes and Healthcare Costs,” a March 19, 2008 webinar, will examine how some organizations have structured the care provided to diabetes patients through the medical home model and the impact it has had on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.

- "Given the medical home’s proven clinical and financial benefits for the healthcare community in general, the logical next step is to apply this model of care to specific areas of disease management such as diabetes. The results presented during this webinar can serve as a plan of care guide for asthma, heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”
