00:04.040 --> 00:07.210
- Part of this course is
to bring a team together,

00:07.210 --> 00:10.230
show them what diabetes
management should look like,

00:10.230 --> 00:12.620
what are the clinical practice guidelines,

00:12.620 --> 00:15.650
and then elevate each member of the team

00:15.650 --> 00:17.170
to their highest level so that they

00:17.170 --> 00:19.800
can provide comprehensive care.

00:19.800 --> 00:23.160
As they become more
comfortable managing patients,

00:23.160 --> 00:25.675
they provide better
care to those patients.

00:25.675 --> 00:28.000
When you come to the
Diabetes Champion course,

00:28.000 --> 00:31.003
they learn about diabetes, they
learn about the guidelines,

00:31.003 --> 00:36.003
they get the hands-on, they
leave with an MPF-specific goal.

00:36.560 --> 00:39.060
Where technology has
helped is we've been able

00:39.060 --> 00:41.020
to offer it to many other MTFs

00:41.020 --> 00:43.560
that would otherwise not be able to come.

00:43.560 --> 00:46.027
I think as far as the
continuum of learning,

00:46.027 --> 00:49.130
one of the take homes from the course is

00:49.130 --> 00:52.490
that everything is continuous
process improvement,

00:52.490 --> 00:54.960
identifying where the problems are,

00:54.960 --> 00:58.033
and slowly solving each one, one by one.

00:58.033 --> 01:00.340
So not only are we providing with this

01:00.340 --> 01:03.490
Diabetes Champs Course teaching
all the healthcare providers

01:03.490 --> 01:05.450
how to manage diabetes but we can provide

01:05.450 --> 01:08.540
comprehensive diabetes
education to their patients.

01:08.540 --> 01:11.500
We now have a platform that
we can provide standardized

01:11.500 --> 01:14.837
diabetes education across
all the sister services

01:14.837 --> 01:17.550
and come up with a model that you can

01:17.550 --> 01:20.460
provide comprehensive diabetes care.

01:20.460 --> 01:24.146
I think that the overall care
of patients across the DOD

01:24.146 --> 01:27.490
is already great and
it's gonna be even better

01:27.490 --> 01:28.973
as a result of this program.
