Chronic diseases contribute to 75% of U.S. annual health care spending. Patients with chronic diseases often experience devastating outcomes because of limited healthcare engagement and ineffective self-management skills. Frontline healthcare staff members can play an important role an early diagnosis and proper disease management. This can have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life, as well as the cost of care.
This course is part one of a four-part series that aims to provide an overview of common chronic diseases, while also exploring the role frontline healthcare staff play in disease prevention and management.
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 23.1 million adults diagnosed with diabetes and 7.2 million adults undiagnosed with diabetes in the United States. Unmanaged diabetes can lead to many long-term complications, including damage to organs and other parts of the body. In this course, participants will discuss prevention, diagnosis and treatment options to assist healthcare professionals and patients in addressing diabetes. Strategies to support patient health concerns, provide meaningful guidance and coping techniques are also presented. Participants will learn ways to assist patients before, during and after medical visits. This continued support and coordination of patient care can contribute to better diabetes self-management and a reduction in long-term problems.
