AADE is sharing news of various updates /activities.
AADE and the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) collaborated on a joint issue of Evidence-Based Diabetes Management, which highlights the economics of diabetes and the need for more coverage and payment for diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) as well as diabetes prevention. The subscriber base for this publication: Payers. The special issue showcases the growing body of evidence supporting DSMES as an effective disease management tool that saves health systems money but is woefully underutilized. It argues that more widespread use of DSMES will require that payers—both public and private—rethink policies and payment structures. You can access the issue via the link posted in the December eFYI Newsletter sent to Members on 12/21/2016.
