preventing type 2 diabetes: a guide to refer patients to...

14
A guide to refer your patients with prediabetes to an evidence-based diabetes prevention program TYPE 2 PREVENTING DIABETES – 1 – The American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control are supporting physicians, care teams and patients to prevent diabetes. Use this guide to help your patients delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes Prediabetes is a health condition characterized by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes increases the risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Prediabetes is treatable, but only about 10 percent of people who have it are aware that they do. Left untreated up to one-third of people with prediabetes will progress to diabetes within five years. During that window of time your patients can benefit from a proven lifestyle change intervention that is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As part of the National DPP, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the CDC are collaborating to create tools and resources that care teams can use to identify patients with prediabetes, and refer eligible patients to in-person or online diabetes prevention programs. Physicians and care teams from a diverse group of practices helped the AMA and the CDC create the tools in this guide, and have used them in their own practices to: Screen and identify patients for prediabetes Refer patients to diabetes prevention programs Create feedback loops, linking the patient’s progress in the diabetes prevention program back to the practice Part of a national movement To achieve CDC recognition as part of the National DPP, programs must provide evidence they are following a CDC-approved curriculum and achieving meaningful results with patients. These programs are based on research showing that a year-long, structured lifestyle change intervention reduced the incidence of diabetes by 58 percent among adults with prediabetes and by 71 percent in those aged 60 years or older. These programs are successful in part because they require only moderate weight loss to achieve preventive health benefits. Weight loss of 5 to 7 percent of body weight—10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds—led to the results mentioned above. The AMA and the CDC are promoting these diabetes prevention programs because they are one of the most effective ways to help physicians prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in high-risk patients. Use this implementation guide and its tools to help identify and refer patients with prediabetes to a diabetes prevention program that is part of the CDC’s National DPP. Preventing diabetes: Making a difference by linking the clinic with the community. In the average primary care practice, it’s likely that one-third of patients over age 18, and half over age 65, have prediabetes.

M.A.P. (Measure, Act, Partner) THE M.A.P. (Measure, Act, Partner) to prevent type 2 diabetes—physicians and care teams can use this document to determine roles and responsibilities for identifying adult

patients with prediabetes and referring to community-based diabetes prevention programs. “Point-of-Care” and “Retrospective” methods may be used together or alone.

Choose and check what works best for your practice

Step 1: MeasureWhenWhoHow (draw from AMA-CDC tools)

Point-of-care method• Assess risk for prediabetes during routine office visit • Test and evaluate blood glucose level based on risk status

• At the front desk• During vital signs

• Receptionist • Medical assistant• Nurse• Physician• Other _______

• Provide “Are you at risk for prediabetes?” patient education handout in waiting area

• Use/adapt “Patient flow process” tool • Use CDC or ADA risk assessment questionnaire at check-in • Display 8 x 11” patient-facing poster promoting prediabetes

awareness to your patients• Use/adapt “Point-of-care algorithm”

Retrospective method

• Query EHR to identify patients with BMI ≥24* and blood glucose level in the

prediabetes range

• Every 6–12 months• Health IT staff

• Other _______

• Use/adapt “Retrospective algorithm”

Step 2: ActPoint-of-care method• Counsel patient re: prediabetes and treatment options during office visit• Refer patient to diabetes prevention program• Share patient contact info with program provider**

• During the visit• Medical assistant• Nurse• Physician• Other________

• Advise patient using “So you have prediabetes … now what?” handout

• Use/adapt “Health care practitioner referral form” • Refer to “Commonly used CPT and ICD codes”

Retrospective method• Inform patient of prediabetes status via mail, email or phone call• Make patient aware of referral and info sharing with program provider• Refer patient to diabetes prevention program• Share patient contact info with program provider**

• Contact patient soon after EHR query

• Health IT staff• Medical assistant

(for phone calls)• Other________

• Use/adapt “Patient letter/phone call” template • Use/adapt “Health care practitioner referral form” for making

individual referrals • Use/adapt “Business Associate Agreement” template on AMA's

website if needed

Step 3: PartnerWith diabetes prevention programs• Engage and communicate with your local diabetes prevention program • Establish process to receive feedback from program about your patients’

participation

• Establish contact before making 1st referral

• Office manager• Other________

Use/adapt “Business Associate Agreement” template on AMA's website if needed Refer to “Commonly used CPT and ICD codes”

With patients• Explore motivating factors important to the patient • At follow-up visit, order/review blood tests to determine impact of program

and reinforce continued program participation• Discuss program feedback with patient and integrate into care plan

• During office visit• Other________

• Medical assistant• Nurse• Physician• Other________

• Advise patient using “So you have prediabetes … now what?” handout and provide CDC physical activity fact sheet www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity

* Some diabetes prevention program providers require a BMI of ≥25. Please check with your diabetes prevention program provider for eligibility requirements.

Following the M.A.P. for Preventing Type 2 Diabetes can help your practice achieve Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition, as well as Meaningful Use of your electronic medical record. (Supports PCMH recognition via Standard 4: Self-Care Support, B. Provide Referrals to Community Resources (3 points), NCQA Facilitating PCMH Recognition, 2011.)** To share patient contact information with a diabetes prevention program, you may need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

The American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have created a tool kit that can help physician practices screen and refer patients to evidence-based diabetes prevention programs. Visit preventdiabetesstat.org to learn more. Physicians and other health care providers should also use their independent judgment when referring to a diabetes prevention program.

BMI stands for “BODY MASS INDEX” which is an estimate of total body fat based on height and weight. It is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

THE GOAL for most people is to have a BMI in the green area. It is usually best for your BMI to stay the same over time or to gradually move toward the green area.
