Simple Steps to Manage and Control Type 2 Diabetes
Step 1: Initiate Assessment
Action
After the provider launches MedsEngine from their EHR, a snapshot of relevant laboratory results and metrics are displayed for all available diseases. “Type 2 Diabetes” is selected from the list of chronic diseases to assess that day.
Outcome
MedsEngine retrieves 38 pertinent factors from the EHR for display and verification.
Step 2: Verify Diabetes Factors
Action
The provider reviews and confirms the accuracy of the patient’s clinical data on the Validation page.
Outcome
MedsEngine analyzes the verified data to generate and display the patient's A1c history, potential harmful effects, personal factors, personalized A1c goal and medication recommendations.
Step 3: Identify Factors of Concern
Action
The provider reviews the displayed information with the patient.
Outcome
The patient can see the numerous factors involved in their diabetes care.
Step 4: Choose Medications
Action
The provider reviews the recommendations and chooses to prescribe medication according to the patient's clinical factors. Timely follow-up recommendations are provided to encourage rapid control of type 2 diabetes.
Outcome
MedsEngine empowers the provider to confidently and safely control type 2 diabetes utilizing the latest clinical guidelines and a personalized A1c goal. Diabetes control improves the patient’s quality of life and markedly reduces the risk of coronary artery disease, kidney failure, vision loss, and heart failure.
Step 5: Enhance Patient Understanding and Adherence
Action
A comprehensive diabetes patient summary report is generated and printed.
Outcome
The report includes personalized education to bolster patient understanding and adherence to the prescribed treatment. It also provides important information on BP control, cholesterol, foot and eye care, lab tests, and vaccines.
