Diabetes: The Epidemic
►Prevalence
20 million Americans diagnosed with DM
$174 billion each year
Number of DM to double by year 2030
►Relevance
Health care costs increasing
New models of care
There is HopeThere is Hope
Patient Centered Medical Home
► Structured principles
Personal physician
Whole-person
orientation
Enhanced access
Group Visit model for
chronically ill
patients
Group Visits
►Seeing patients in small groups
►Weekly, monthly, quarterly for 1-2 hours
►Effectiveness supported by literature
►DM focused but can be extended to any chronic illness
Group Visits
►Distinguish from more narrowly defined group education classes which address self-mgmt skills, exercise, and nutrition, but…
►Education classes do not provide – Medical evaluation Medication administration Coordination/delivery of preventive health
services
DM Group Visit
►Include an educational session, plus most components of individual clinic visit Including one-on-one time with physician
►Not a lecture Lectures provide knowledge, but do not
change behavior
►Curriculum for visit is driven by patient questions and concerns
Literature► AIM-HI Bulletin AAFP 2008
Group medical visits reportedly improved critical health parameters
► Wheelock et al. Fam Med 2009 Patients were making life style changes
HbgA1c and LDL levels did not differ
► Sadur et al. Diabetes Care 1999 Group visits for 6 months
Improved patient satisfaction, self-efficacy and blood-glucose control

The StudyThe Study
Purpose
In this pilot study, we evaluate whether
Diabetic patients who regularly attend
Group Visits for 6 months at a Patient
Centered Medical Home will show
improvement in their metabolic parameters
and knowledge of their Diabetes
Methods► All adult Type II diabetics established at
FMC were eligible► Protocol approved by St. John Hospital IRB► Recruitment letters ► Randomly assigned to 2 small groups
10 patients per group► HIPPA disclosure and confidentiality forms► Study length 12 months
January – June 2010 and July – December 2010 Two 6-month block sessions
Methods►Monthly meetings
75min group visit
Vitals
Labs, HbA1C,
lipids
Med review
Immunizations
►Monthly diabetic topic
DM Basics
Common medications
Hyper and hypoglycemic states
Diabetic lab goals
Nutritionist

Methods►Main Outcomes
HbA1c
DM Knowledge
►Secondary Outcomes Weight

Patient Satisfaction
►Completion of knowledge test

Patient Satisfaction Comments
►“I have had diabetes for over 10 years and until these meetings I never knew what it meant. Something about sugar.”
►“I didn’t realize so many people like me had diabetes.”
►“Great class. Nutrition talk was very helpful. Now, I know what to eat and what to avoid.”
Summary► Statistically significant improvements in Primary
and Secondary outcomes
HbA1c and Knowledge of Diabetes
Weight, SBP, and Patient Satisfaction
► Gains were realized in a well established diabetic patient population
► Gains were realized without the addition or modification of any medications
► Increased patient satisfaction compared to traditional office visit
Conclusions► In a PCMH, Diabetics not under good glycemic
control with typical office visits, can be empowered to make beneficial lifestyle changes and to self manage their diabetes when participating in a group visit model facilitated by Family Medicine Residents
► Future study
Investigate whether positive changes persist in larger study
Utility of Group Visits for other medical conditions
