Diabetes Care Management
In the July 2022 Issue of Health Affairs, Thomas Bodenheimer and Rachel
Willard-Grace explore the role of care management for patients with type
2 diabetes
.
Bodenheimer and Willard-Grace write that although patients are
responsible for making decisions regarding their diet, level of
activity, and adherence to prescribed medications, building the
self-management skills necessary for these vital decisions requires
support.
While primary care clinicians do not have the time to help patients
manage their diabetes, care managers do.
Diabetes care management can include "developing a diabetes care plan
with the patient, family members, or other caregivers; reviewing labs
and adjusting medications per protocol...and tracking patients'
progress."
Despite the evidence supporting the benefits of care management, there
are barriers to implementation: shortages in adequately trained care
managers, state regulations, and misaligned payment policies.
Bodenheimer and Willard-Grace propose the adoption of a value-based
primary care payment, modernization of restrictive state regulations,
and increase in primary care spending to address current barriers to
implementation.
The authors conclude that "policy changes are needed to spread this
evidence-based service to everyone with diabetes."
