Our next Best Practice Intervention Package (BPIP) will be released on January 28. This Cross Settings II BPIP will focus on chronic disease and self-management. Patients with one of more chronic diseases are more likely to wind up back in the hospital. One of the most common of these chronic diseases is diabetes. Spread the word, November is American Diabetes Month. There are endless resources available from the American Diabetes Association. A great resource you can share with your patients is this Holiday Survival Guide from the ADA. (Great timing!) Another great resource is a self-management tool for patients with diabetes. To view this tool, login to your HHQI account here: www.homehealthquality.org/hh/extranet.
