Until we meet again… Hold weekly improvement team meetings to

plan/discuss PDSAs Develop a plan to collect any data you don’t

have or correct any data you know is wrong Focus on implementing the first 4 critical

changes (listed on your monthly report form):1. Population alert2. Use of template/flow sheet with embedded

guidelines3. Standing orders4. Planned care at every visit

Until we meet again… Identify diabetes patients not seen the past

6-12 months and test ways to reach out to them to schedule a visit and provide follow-up care

Write out your PDSAs on the PDSA worksheets and summarize them on the monthly status report you submit to us

Submit your data and status report to paspread@hmc.psu.edu by the 5th of the month

Until we meet again… Review the data benchmarking reports

compiled by the PA AHEC staff to see who is doing really well on key measures… and then call them or ask your facilitator to connect you

Meet with your practice facilitator—they will be calling you

Reflect on and respond to feedback from your practice facilitator

Participate in once-a-month webinars Tell us what you need!
