Improving Microvascular Complications Screening Rates: Implementation of a Dedicated Diabetes Clinic (Diabetes 360) in an Underserved Area in Philadelphia, PA

What is it about?

Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a complex disease that requires adequate glycemic control from the onset to reduce the incidence of microvascular complications, such as nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy (kidney, nerve, and eye complications, respectively). In a population with multiple health care challenges, implementing a patient-centered diabetes clinic proved to be beneficial for increasing screening rates for diabetes complications and diabetes control.
