Press Release Body = Diabetic Patient Education Toolkit Returns Quality to Home Health Care Service and Documentation De Gruy & Associates will unveil their Diabetic Patient Education/Documentation Tool Kit that will support Home Health Agencies in their plight to continue to serve diabetics despite the increased denial of Medicare claims. Inglewood, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2006 -- De Gruy & Associates, a California based Health Care Consulting business, announces the promotion of their Diabetic Patient Education Tool Kit for Home Health Care agencies. The development of the kit came after numerous home care agencies reviewed and assessed patient record documentation, input from nurses requesting tools that will provide information in a manner that will bring long lasting benefit to the patient and agency revenue losses due to denied claims because of poor documentation.
The National Diabetes statistics are staggering with over $132 billions being spent for direct cost(diabetic care) and indirect costs (disability, loss of work and death) with no end in sight.
In 2005 there were 1.5 million new cases diagnosed and many more that were not diagnosed nationwide. \"This is a health care crisis that needs to be controlled. The public needs prevention and intervention to combat and limit the numbers of new cases, the development of potential complications and deaths\" stated Dr Sheila De Gruy the visionary of this project. With numbers like these the numbers of home health patients are bound to increase. Currently over 21 million people in the US or 8% of the population has diabetes. These statistics and the willingness to step up to the plate and take a stand to support and help the home health care agencies to find an alternative is what prompted De Gruy & Associates to make this offer to the home health care agencies.
Self-care management is the key to promoting longevity of life and behavioral/lifestyle changes for the diabetic patient or any patient with a chronic illness and self-care-management can only be learned by the patient and can only take place through quality instruction and skills training provided by home care nurses.
The Diabetic Patient Education and Documentation Tool Kit will ease the burden for the nurse and direct them to use teaching principles and guides that will provide information that will promote life changing results, decrease recurrent hospitalizations and limit potential life-threatening complications or deaths.
De Gruy & Associates has painstakingly developed this project to benefit to the community at large. It\'s a win-win proposal that will bring gratification to the health care professional and pertinent, measurable outcomes and satisfaction to the patients.
Until there\'s a cure; there\'s patient education at its finest.
