It’s Diabetes Awareness Month!

Diabetes Toolkit 

The Clinical Excellence and Innovation (CEI) Team at CHCANYS is excited to announce that the Diabetes Toolkit is available for download on our newly built landing page on the CHCANYS website!  

The Diabetes Toolkit was developed in collaboration with New York State Department of Health’s Diabetes Program and is intended to support community health centers in providing holistic diabetes care tailored to the unique needs of their patient populations.  

Currently, the Diabetes Toolkit contains Module 1: Guideline-Concordant Care for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes and Module 2: Diabetic Retinopathy Screening. Module 2 specifically emphasizes timely and holistic screening for diabetic retinopathy. Module 3: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Early Detection is currently under development.  

In an effort to optimize the use of the Diabetes Toolkit, the CEI Team, in collaboration with our subject matter expert, Trudy Bearden, President of Bearden Consulting, have hosted webinars for each Module. The webinars provide a comprehensive overview of each Module and how they can be best operationalized at health centers. The Modules 1 and 2 webinar recordings, and their accompanying slides, are also available on the CHCANYS website.
