TI  - Evaluation of an Innovative Program To Improve Outcomes among Military 
      Beneficiaries with Diabetes.
PG  - 271-80
AB  - Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are a challenging population and 
      the goals of maintaining a HgA1c of 7 or less, and limiting emergency department 
      (ED) visits and hospitalizations, are not new. The Patient-Centered Medical Home 
      (PCMH) is a practice model mandated by the U.S. Air Force. The primary objective 
      of this study was to quantify and evaluate the effects of PCMH implementation on 
      one group of chronic disease patients, those with T2DM, using the outcomes of 
      HgA1c, ED visits, and hospitalized days. A secondary objective was to use PCMH 
      evaluations to explain outcome variations and then help clinic sites recognize 
      areas of strength and weaknesses so they could continue care improvement efforts. 
      Support was found for the effect of PCMH implementation on HgA1c of patients with 
      T2DM seen in military clinics. Support was mixed for PCMH and its positive effect 
      on hospitalized days and ED visits of patients with T2DM.
