Abstract

With 34 million individuals in the United States diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the disease presents a significant challenge for healthcare professionals. Hyperglycemia remains the central issue, making insulin therapy a critical intervention. This study emphasizes the Chronic Care Model (CCM) of informatics as a practical framework for managing type 2 diabetes. The CCM supports self-management, improves hospital stays, and reduces morbidity and mortality related to complications such as cardiovascular issues. This model facilitates weight management and blood sugar control while leveraging CHPL and Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) to help clinicians and patients achieve better health outcomes.

The CCM is designed to aid individuals with chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes by restructuring healthcare delivery systems to foster collaboration among communities and health systems. It integrates components of disease management programs to enhance care delivery, support self-care, and improve the efficiency of healthcare systems. The ultimate goal is to minimize resource wastage, optimize outcomes, and establish well-developed service systems.

Quality Improvement Methods Used

Change management strategies are vital in implementing quality improvement paradigms to achieve desired outcomes in managing type 2 diabetes (Froguel, 2020). These methods align with the Chronic Care Model, ensuring NURS FPX 6414 Assessment 1 targeted attention for individuals with chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes.

The Chronic Care Model and Type 2 Diabetes

Despite advancements in healthcare technology, the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes highlights the ongoing need for the Chronic Care Model (CCM). This model ensures that individuals with chronic diseases receive focused and effective care. It also provides a framework for nurses, patients, and healthcare teams to reorganize care delivery, making community health services a more accessible and effective choice (Bonnefond, 2020).

The Importance of Teamwork

Effective teamwork is critical for optimizing health informatics models like CCM. Collaboration among nurses, doctors, patients, and other stakeholders enhances care delivery and improves outcomes. Key initiatives promoting teamwork include encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation and integrating evidence-based best practices into care processes.

Evidence Supporting Quality Improvement Methods

The CCM, developed in the 1990s, revolutionized type 2 diabetes care by focusing on self-management, decision support, care system design, and clinical information systems. This model has consistently demonstrated its ability to improve resource utilization and effectively address community healthcare needs.

Knowledge Gaps and Unknowns

The CCM provides a structured approach to healthcare delivery, but its applicability across diverse patient populations remains an area of ongoing research. Assessing whether CCM principles can be universally applied is critical for optimizing implementation and achieving consistent outcomes (Levy et al., 2021).

Communication Quality Enhancement

Improving communication between healthcare providers and patients is essential for successful type 2 diabetes care. Effective communication helps build patient confidence, fosters better adherence to treatment plans, and enhances the overall care experience. Providing education on type 2 diabetes can empower nurses and healthcare workers, improving their ability to guide patients and advance their professional growth.

Interprofessional Team Benefits

Interprofessional collaboration is fundamental to managing type 2 diabetes effectively. Healthcare teams can implement drug-free interventions alongside pharmacological treatments by fostering connections across disciplines. This collaborative approach enhances care quality and supports professional relationship-building among team members (Izzo et al., 2021).

Overall Project Benefits

Effective management of type 2 diabetes relies on robust information systems to handle large-scale data management, gain insights, and streamline essential tasks. Miscommunication can lead to service failures and compromise chronic care efforts. Investing in creative tools, informatics, and proper training for nurses and other professionals ensures a smoother transition to using advanced models like CCM (Marks et al., 2021).

By adopting the Chronic Care Model, integrating health informatics, and promoting interprofessional collaboration, healthcare systems can achieve sustainable improvements in managing type 2 diabetes. NURS FPX 6414 Assessment 1 highlights the importance of these strategies in enhancing care delivery and improving patient outcomes.
