The Pharmacy Diabetes Care Program uses a collaborative approach to investigate the continuum of care model for people with type 2 diabetes and those at risk. The critical elements of the service include patient education, support and monitoring to facilitate self-management in those with established disease. For those at risk, the focus is on education and referral. The aims of the Pharmacy Diabetes Care Program are:
• Improve the health of people with diabetes
• Identify and refer as appropriate people with undiagnosed diabetes; and
• Support the continuity of car for people with diabetes.
In this pilot program the service delivery model will be one which will allow any pharmacy with current QCPP accreditation to participate in the program to maximise opportunities for the long term sustainability of the program. |
