Editor's Notes
- I have been passionate about the notion of Group Visits, since my residency training. I always felt that a better educated patient, equaled a healthy patient. My resident research project focused on group visits for Pediatric obesity. I wanted to carry the group visit idea into my practice. And then as faculty physician at St. John I had some help from the residents I was teaching. So really this research project is a large collaboration with residents giving lectures during their community medicine rotation. Residents are so eager to get involved and we set up each resident with a topic to facilitate during the DM Group Visit. So I was able to harness that energy to move forward this research pilot study.
- Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System performed by CDC, The data shown in these maps were collected through the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) , on the basis of self-reported weight and height. Each year, state health departments use standard procedures to collect data through a series of monthly telephone interviews with U.S. adults. Prevalence estimates generated for the maps may vary slightly from those generated for the states by the BRFSS as slightly different analytic methods are used
- Methodology Number and percent of the U.S. population with diagnosed diabetes were obtained from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS, available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis.htm ) of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for years. Conducted continuously since 1957, the NHIS is a health survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The survey provides information on the health of the United States population, including information on the prevalence and incidence of disease, the extent of disability, and the utilization of health care services. The multistage probability design of the survey has been described elsewhere (1,2). Estimates for years 1958-1979 were obtained from published data (3) and estimates from 1980 forward were derived directly from the NHIS survey data. References 1.

- Data from the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet (released Jan. 26, 2011) Total prevalence of diabetes Total: 25.8 million children and adults in the United States—8.3% of the population—have diabetes. Diagnosed: 18.8 million people Undiagnosed: 7.0 million people Prediabetes: 79 million people Cost of Diabetes $174 billion: Total costs of diagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2007 $116 billion for direct medical costs $58 billion for indirect costs (disability, work loss, premature mortality)
- This article states “The future of family Medicine”, but this article is from 2004, and so the future is already the past. But in this report, the committee supported the PCMH concept. And mentioned Group Visits as 1 tool to provide higher quality and better access at a lower cost to the health care system
- Quality measures – patient disease registries, establish core performance measures, test result tracking Patient experience – increased access to care, same day appointments, email, support patient self management through motivational interviewing, group visits
- Dr. Andrew Davis published a Review article in clinical diabetes 2008. There has been much research in Group Visits, starting from late 1990s
- Group visit setting is a superb time to catch up on preventive health maintenance, immunizations, labs, etc.
- We did have several patients who made dramatic positive change in HbA1c which may have affected our results
