Diabetes Continuous Quality Improvement for Health Centers

DATE: January 18, 2022 | 10:00 am (PT) / 12:00 pm (CT) / 1:00 pm (ET)

Description

Although the Diabetes Performance Analysis is no longer a standard feature of the Operational Site Visit (OSV), diabetes management continues to be a focus of health center quality improvement efforts, especially for those who are serving special populations with unique needs, such as Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAWs).  In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges to the provision of chronic illness care for health center patients. This webinar will address quality improvement methodologies, diabetes metrics, creative diabetes care models for MSAWs, and relevant responses to COVID.
