  11. National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support • Developed by a Task Force that includes the American Diabetes Association, the American Association of Diabetes Educators, experts in the field, and people with diabetes • Updated every five years • Designed to define quality DSME and support • Assist diabetes educators in providing evidence-based education and self-management support. • Include 10 Standards http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/36/Supplement_1/S100.full.pdf+html

  12. National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support 10 Standards 1. Internal Structure 6. Curriculum 2. External Input 7. Individualization 3. Access 8. Ongoing Support 4. Program Coordination 9. Patient Progress 5. Instructional Staff 10. Quality Improvement

  13. 1. Internal Structure • Document an organizational structure, mission statement, and goals • Increases efficiency and effectiveness • Critical factor in clear communication

  14. 2. External Input • Seek ongoing input from external stakeholders and experts to promote program quality • Increase knowledge of consumer needs • Build bridges to key stakeholders

  28. Why DSME? 9 Comprehensive Diabetes Care – (CDC) • Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing • HbA1c poor control • HbA1c control (<8%) • Eye exam (retinal) performed • LDL-C screening • LDL-C control (<100 mg/dL) • Medical attention for nephropathy 10 Controlling High Blood Pressure – (CBP)

  29. Why DSME? • HbA1c and blood pressure reduced • Fewer hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and outpatient visits. • Estimated savings in diabetes-related cost over 3 years - $415 per program completer. • Over 10 years, completers were estimated to experience 12% fewer coronary heart disease events and 15% fewer microvasculardisease events

  30. Why DSME? • Receiving formal diabetes education is consistently a predictor of engaging in preventive behavior and receiving diabetes-related health services • Patients who participate in diabetes education are more likely to follow best practice treatment recommendations

  31. Why DSME? • DSME at time of diagnosis helps people with diabetes initiate effective self-management and cope with diabetes • Ongoing DSME and DSMS helps people with diabetes maintain effective self-management throughout a lifetime

  32. Why DSME? • Improved diabetes knowledge and improved self-care behavior • Improved clinical outcomes such as lower HbA1c • Increased use of primary and preventive services • Lower use of acute, inpatient hospital services • LOWER COSTS

  33. Benefits of DSME

  34. Cost of DSME • $352 to $430 – DSME Medicare Reimbursement http://medicare.fcso.com/Fee_lookup/fee_schedule.asp • 7700 – hospitalizations w/ diabetes primary diagnosis – Florida Medicaid beneficiaries – 2012 AHCA Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data Set • $295,636,031 – total Florida Medicaid charges for hospitalizations w/ diabetes primary diagnosis – 2012 AHCA Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data Set • $2,710,400 to $3,311,000 – estimated cost of DSME for 7700
