Diabetic Management Service

Question 1

This assignment has two parts. Both parts must be completed.

Part 1 – Suppose you are the manager of a multi-specialty group practice located in Oak Park, IL. The president of the group practice, Dr. Smiley, has asked you to evaluate the feasibility of starting a Diabetes Management Service targeted at children and teens. In two pages or less, describe how you would apply the epidemiological planning model to evaluate such a service.

Part 2 – Suppose the Diabetic Management Service described above has opened successfully and is now one year old. After year 1, the following metric data has been collected:

• Percentage of patients attending on-going support groups – goal 80%; actual 60%.
• Percentage of patients compliant with exercise recommendations – goal 80%; actual 50%
• Percentage of patients compliant with diet recommendations – goal 85%; actual 88%

In two pages or less, explain step by step how you would apply the evidence based management model to this situation.

Overall your paper should 2 – 4 pages

Question 2

In 1979, the Surgeon General reported that, as a nation, we were in good health. However, the argument was made that we could be in better health if we focused on prevention as opposed to reaction. More than three decades later, determine if our system today is more preventative or reactive focused. Discuss your position and the implications it may have for current and future health care administrators.
