RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to review the literature for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) to ensure the National Standards for DSMES (Standards) align with current evidence-based practices and utilization trends. METHODS: The 10 Standards were divided among 20 interdisciplinary workgroup members. Members searched the current research for diabetes education and support, behavioral health, clinical, health care environment, technical, reimbursement, and business practice for the strongest evidence that guided the Standards revision. RESULTS: Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. The evidence indicates that health care providers and people affected by diabetes are embracing technology, and this is having a positive impact of DSMES access, utilization, and outcomes. CONCLUSION: Quality DSMES continues to be a critical element of care for all people with diabetes. The DSMES services must be individualized and guided by the concerns, preferences, and needs of the person affected by diabetes. Even with the abundance of evidence supporting the benefits of DSMES, it continues to be underutilized, but as with other health care services, technology is changing the way DSMES is delivered and utilized with positive outcomes.

Diabetes education programs are developed to serve the diabetes community by offering quality education that meets a set of standards and is then eligible for third-party insurance reimbursement. Three organizations are authorized by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to determine whether diabetes education programs meet required standards. Each of the three relies on the 2007 edition of the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education. This article summarizes similarities among and unique qualities of each of the organization's approaches to assuring quality.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe current diabetes education practice and specific interventions and responsibilities of diabetes educators in the United States. METHODS: The 2008 National Practice Survey (NPS) instrument consisted of 53 items addressing diabetes education program structure, processes and interventions, outcomes and quality improvement activities, and the chronic care model. The survey was hosted online for American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) members. Participants totaled 2447 members, constituting a 25% return rate. Data from the 2008 NPS were analyzed and compared with results from previous surveys. RESULTS: Nearly two-thirds of respondents in 2008 provided diabetes education in a single location, most commonly in a clinical outpatient/managed care setting (39%). Most programs provided comprehensive services. Managers noted that 42% of their programs were either cost/revenue neutral or profitable. Programs varied in types of services, number of patient visits, team member functions, time spent on services, and instructional methods used. At least 50% of managers said their programs report outcome data, and 88% participate in quality/performance improvement activities. Nearly two-thirds of respondents were unfamiliar with the AADE-adopted chronic care model. CONCLUSIONS: Many 2008 NPS results concur with those obtained in 2005 through 2007. Areas of variability among programs suggest a need for standardized interventions and practice guidelines. Educators are encouraged to report outcomes to elucidate the contributions of their programs to patient care. AADE can use the results and comparative data obtained from the 2008 survey when developing practice, research, and advocacy activities.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose is crucial to keeping diabetes controlled and decreasing the risk of complications (such as heart disease). Matching the patient to the right blood glucose meter is important. Thanks to recent technologic advances, the market seems to have something for everyone, from a voice-activated glucose meter for those who are vision-impaired to a software program that analyzes trends in glucose control by the week, the month, or time of day.

The AADE and ADA are committed to using these survey results to address the issues identified concerning Medicare reimbursement of diabetes self-management training programs. As a result, the following Web-based conferences have been conducted: Reimbursement Update 2003 (ADA) and Achieving and Maintaining Education Program Recognition (ADA). There were many registrants for these conferences, and their positive evaluations indicated that online continuing education programs were well received. Multiple education opportunities continue to be provided at local and national meetings. For example, programs were presented at the ADA Southern Regional Conference in May and the AADE Annual Meeting in August 2004. In addition, the AADE Annual Meeting offered workshops on reimbursement issues, including one conducted by a director from the CMS. An excellent desktop reference for questions regarding reimbursement is the manual, The Guide to Reimbursement. Organizations need to maintain strong volunteer and organization commitment to assure that DSMT is not only valued but also compensated for services rendered. The AADE and ADA volunteers continue to join together to advocate for adequate reimbursement for DSMT. To accomplish this goal, all affected organizations need to continue to partner and seek funding to promote legislative activities and education of health professionals regarding reimbursement and billing processes. Today diabetes education is revered as integral to diabetes care and management. The results gained from this national survey are a platform for enhancing the fiscal viability of the programs that provide this service. The survey data suggest that professionals need ongoing education on the fiscal considerations regarding DSMT programs, including the need for accurate documentation, awareness of current reimbursement status, processes for monitoring billing and appealing claims, establishing working relationships with billing services, implementing the use of advanced beneficiary notice, and the significance of establishing a financial reporting system specific for DSMT. Our mission is clear--"Diabetes is the essence of our work; reimbursement is the essence of our continued existence."
