Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

UP FOR IT - practice facilitation

Using Practice Facilitation and Operationalizing Referral Information Technology (UP FOR IT) involves incorporation of health information technology and practice facilitation. The practice facilitation collaborative trains and supports clinical teams to use the Model for Improvement to make "breakthrough" improvements in diabetes care and DSMES utilization by recognizing barriers and changing clinical systems and care practices.

OTHER

UP FOR IT - health information technology

Using Practice Facilitation and Operationalizing Referral Information Technology (UP FOR IT) involves incorporation of health information technology and practice facilitation. The health information technology component provides the scaffolding for quality improvement efforts by automating patient identification and enabling bi-directional referral communication between providers and diabetes self-management education and services (DSMES) programs.
