Quality Toolkits
The Physician Alliance created health toolkits to provide a variety of resources focused on specific health conditions. The materials and outreach tools can help initiate conversations with patients to increase knowledge and skills for managing their health. Coding and other documents can assist with practice performance and improved quality metrics.
Practices can educate and provide resources to patients to engage them in managing their disease and reduce risks for diabetes complications. Examples of materials in the diabetes toolkit include:
• Patient education flyers on diabetes management, importance of eye exams, lowering risk of diabetes and more
• Understanding diabetic retinopathy infographic
• Social media graphics promoting diabetes management and retinal eye exams
• Coding tip sheets and more!
