Team: [Your Names/Positions] Timeline: January 2023 to July 2023 Problem Statement: A significant number of diabetic patients at [Hospital/Setting Name] experience suboptimal glycemic control, leading to frequent hospital readmissions. Background: [Include statistics or data related to diabetes prevalence and readmission rates at your institution.] Methods: Data Collection: Reviewed medical records of diabetic patients with recent hospital readmissions. Conducted patient interviews to identify barriers to diabetes management. Analysis: Identified common challenges faced by patients in managing their diabetes. Interventions: Implemented a multidisciplinary diabetes management team. Developed patient-specific care plans. Enhanced diabetes education programs. Results: Reduced diabetes-related readmissions by 30%. Improved glycemic control in 75% of diabetic patients. Key Metrics: Pre-intervention vs. post-intervention comparison of readmission rates. Average HbA1c levels before and after the intervention. Visual Aids: Line chart showing the decrease in readmission rates. Bar graph depicting the improvement in glycemic control. Lessons Learned: Collaborative care and personalized care plans are critical for successful diabetes management. Regular patient education and follow-up are essential. Future Steps: Expand the multidisciplinary diabetes management team. Investigate the potential of telehealth for ongoing patient support.
