Decrease in readmissions with TCM code 17 Comments from Providers & Staff I began to see this patient in August. She initially was depressed and feeling hopeless about her diabetes. As of December 31st, her A1c has dropped to 7, she is checking and recording her blood glucose regularly (and taking insulin appropriately) and is now exercising [the patient] really feels that I have helped her to coordinate care between her doctors, address other medical concerns as they come up, and now she feels confident about taking care of herself. Care Coordinator, Cedar Rapids Region It really promotes teamwork; everyone gets a say. RN, CI Region 5/26/2015 18 9
Comments from Providers and Staff We had a gentleman with an A1c of 9.1 in May of 2014. His most recent A1c was 6.8. Just having [our care coordinator] meet with [him] 2 times...[the provider s comment was] she never thought she would see this patient start being compliant with his diabetes. Clinic Administrator, Waterloo Region Traditional Family Practice was primarily a siloed type of delivery care system whereas medical home has integrated our system as a function of a team, providing all the services that should surround the patient. Physician, CI Region 5/26/2015 19 Comments from Patients in a PCMH My care coordinator is a professional friend who cares about my health and works hard to be supportive, encouraging and helpful. My daughter is helping herself on food choices that are best for her. It is amazing for her to want to eat healthy and to now understand why it is so important. She has spent a lot of time making individual recommendations for snacks and meals. She has helped her with social difficulties too. This experience is affecting a healthier eating style for our entire family which I can't even explain enough how amazing this is. I wish more kids could receive this much needed help. Quote from Parent 5/26/2015 20 10
Comments from Patients in a PCMH I trust my medical home team and they are willing to work with me. I have comfort in knowing that I will be taken care of today by my care team. Having [the Care Coordinator here], I can t thank UnityPoint enough, if they didn t have her, I wouldn t be sitting here today as a success story I would be sitting here as a negative statistic she s changed my life. There is a visible difference in my health care since my clinic became a medical home. I would never want to go back. 5/26/2015 21 Patient Testimonials 22 11
