Assuming you have established that the data are good enough to direct action AND that improving performance in this area is a priority for your team, you may wish to discuss the following options with your clinical leaders, Quality Improvement committees, team staff and/or patients:

• Discuss with your team how adding IHPs to the team improves diabetes care
• Get started on a diabetes program – leverage the program planning resources developed by your peers to apply to your diabetes program
• Encourage your clinicians to use the healthcare provider tools developed by the Canadian Diabetes Association
• Learn from the Sunnybrook FHT about a program they developed to help clinicians understand first hand what patients experience living with diabetes
• Learn how to transition a gestational diabetes program from a hospital based model of care to primary care
• Share your team’s approach to diabetes management with the Diabetes Community of Practice. Contact us for more information on how to join.
