Value-based interventions within home health include disease management such as diabetes care. Decreased Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH) rates are one of the primary metrics of success. Clinicians who provide diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) drive lower ACH. This session describes how standardized education provided to all clinicians prepares them to deliver individualized DSMES and consequently improves outcomes. Want optimized patient care outcomes? Invest in clinician education!
