📰 NEWS: AID Technology Improves Diabetes Care No Matter How You Get It A recent study reveals that automated insulin delivery (AID) systems can significantly improve diabetes management, regardless of whether care is provided by an endocrinologist or a primary care physician. The research found that participants experienced similar improvements in glucose levels and time in range, regardless of if they received in-person OR virtual care. This highlights that remote care—and telehealth appointments—can be just as effective as traditional in-person visits! The study’s findings are particularly important for people with diabetes who live in areas with limited access to endocrinologists or specialist care. By showing that primary care providers can successfully manage diabetes technology, including AID systems, it opens the door for broader access to advanced treatments. This is crucial for those living in rural or remote locations as we aim to help as many Australians as possible. 🤳Macintyre Health’s telehealth services can help you manage your AID technology and improve your diabetes care, no matter where you are.

Exciting times ahead in diabetes care! Medicare’s 2025 Physician Fee Schedule brings promising updates for remote patient monitoring (RPM), especially for diabetes management. These changes are set to enhance access, improve reimbursement rates, and expand eligible services, signaling a boost for both patients and providers. With over 38 million adults in the U.S. living with diabetes, the need for efficient, continuous care is more critical than ever. Remote monitoring using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) from industry leaders like Dexcom and Libre, which serve a combined 3 million users, is set to play a pivotal role. The anticipated growth in RPM adoption reflects a broader trend towards integrating advanced technology into patient care. At Glutality, powered by StrideMD, we’re poised to leverage these changes to enhance our services. Our extensive experience with over 75,000 diabetes patients underscores our commitment to improving health outcomes through innovative RPM solutions. This evolution in Medicare policy is more than just a regulatory update; it’s a signal of the transformative potential in healthcare. #DiabetesCare #RemotePatientMonitoring #Telehealth #Medicare2025 #Healthcare #CGM #Dexcom #Libre #StrideMD #Glutality

Direct primary care can offer employers immediate and long-term savings in several ways, two of the primary ways Direct Primary Care saves: • Reduced utilization of expensive services: Employers can save on the utilization of expensive services, such as specialist visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, and emergency rooms. By providing employees with easy and timely access to primary care, direct primary care can prevent or manage many health issues before they become more serious and costly. A study by the Society of Actuaries found that direct primary care reduced hospital admissions by 19.6%, ER visits by 40.5%, and specialist visits by 43.2%. • Improved health outcomes and productivity: Employers can save on the indirect costs of poor employee health, such as absenteeism, presenteeism, turnover, and disability. By providing employees with high-quality and preventive care, direct primary care can improve their health outcomes and reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. A study by the University of Michigan found that direct primary care improved blood pressure control by 50%, diabetes control by 35%, and cholesterol control by 25%. #HR #employeeengagement #employeebenefits #Healthcare #Wellness #tectonichealth

This is an insightful study and punctuates the importance of adherence in treatment success.

We love sharing our care managers’ success stories of making a big impact on improving health outcomes. Here’s another one that highlights the power of personalized intervention: An Innovista care manager (CM) checked up on a patient, concerned about their high blood sugar levels and lack of primary care physician (PCP) appointments. High A1C levels are associated with diabetes and other complications. To manage the patient’s health risks, the CM went above and beyond delivering the following care services: 🔘 Provided diabetic education 🔘 Assisted in scheduling a medical appointment that same week 🔘 Adjusted the patient's medications 🔘 Ordered a glucose monitoring device 🔘 Arranged for meal delivery services to help the patient adhere to the prescribed diet Thanks to the CM’s engagement, the patient's A1C levels dropped to a more acceptable range. At Innovista Health, we’re proud of our care managers, whose clinical expertise is crucial to a patient’s long-term well-being. #DiabetesManagement #PatientEngagement #CareManagement

Read this article this morning. The growing shortage of primary care providers is concerning for the aging population needing care. This is something we are strategizing around at Intermountain Health. Simplifying processes, moving care upstream, and empowering patients in their care are some of those efforts. One strategy not mentioned in this article is the impact #pharmacists can have to help offset this shortage. Already #ambulatorycare pharmacists are providing comprehensive medication management for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, COPD and more. Expanding availability to pharmacists, working collaboratively with physicians, will help put a dent in the primary care physician shortage. #ambcareisthebestcare

Telemedicine has revolutionized the way we manage chronic diseases, providing patients with convenient access to #healthcare professionals from the comfort of their own homes. By utilizing #telemedicine, individuals with #chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and COPD can easily monitor their symptoms and communicate with their healthcare providers in real-time. Telemedicine allows for remote monitoring of vital signs, medication management, and virtual consultations, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits and making healthcare more accessible for those with mobility limitations or living in rural areas. This not only improves the quality of care for patients but also helps to reduce healthcare costs and decrease hospital readmissions. In addition, telemedicine can help patients better manage their chronic conditions by providing access to educational resources, support groups, and personalized care plans. With the ability to track and monitor their health data in real-time, patients can take a more active role in their own care and make informed decisions about their health. Overall, the role of telemedicine in managing chronic diseases is invaluable, offering a convenient and efficient way for patients to receive the care they need while improving outcomes and quality of life. Embracing telemedicine as part of a comprehensive chronic disease management plan can lead to better health outcomes and a more patient-centered approach to care.
