Abstract The data reviewed for this study had shown that is evidence that a team approach for the treatment of diabetes can reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes, improve diabetes management, and lower the risk for chronic complications, This evidence supports an opportunity for health care professionals and organization leaders to help improve the health of people with diabetes. At the same time, it is important that studies of team interventions involving the skills of numerous health care professionals continue to explain effective ways to implement team care that improve patients well-being and to assess the costs involved. The commitment of an organization’s leadershipis is essential for a team to provide comprehensive, lifetime management for patients with diabetes. Team care requires a collaborative, interactive, multi-skilled approach that maximizes yhe use of many different health professionals as educators, care coordinators, and providers of services to help patients achieve the best health outcomes possible. Community health workers, innovative interactions via tele-health technology, and alternative ways to deliver care such as group visits all contribute to the practice of team care. |
