Examining factors associated with nonadherence and identifying providers caring for nonadherent subgroups.
This study examined racial/ethnic and regional differences in medication adherence in patients with diabetes taking oral anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and cholesterol lowering medications and to identify the pharmacies and prescribers who serve these communities. After adjustment for other factors, Filipinos, Native Hawaiians, and people of other race were significantly less adherent to anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications than Japanese.

Identifying and prioritizing the barriers and facilitators to the self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a community-centered approach.
The researchers sought to develop and test an instrument to identify and quantify the barriers and facilitators to self-management of type 2 diabetes. The study concluded that factors impacting self-management can be quantified and categorized as barriers and facilitators. Further refinement to some factors and investigation into alternative prioritization methods is necessary.

Provision of medication therapy management by pharmacists to patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus in a federally qualified health center.
This article describes a medication therapy management (MTM) pilot program that was implemented at a federally qualified health center. This program was implemented at three clinics involving patients with uncontrolled diabetes, defined as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) greater than 8 percent. Fifty-seven patients met the established criteria and were enrolled in the six-month program. Thirty-seven patients completed the program and had an average 15 percent reduction in HbA1c.

Patient, provider, and system factors associated with failure to follow-up elevated glucose results in patients without diagnosed diabetes.
Patient, provider, and system factors associated with failure to follow-up elevated glucose values in electronic medical records (EMRs) are not well described. The researchers conducted a chart review in a comprehensive EMR with a patient portal and results management features but found no associations between patient characteristics, diabetes risk factors, or provider characteristics and follow-up failures.

Do medical homes offer improved diabetes care for Medicaid enrollees with co-occurring schizophrenia?
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Medicaid recipients with co-occurring diabetes and schizophrenia that are medical-home-enrolled are more likely to receive guideline-concordant diabetes care than those who are not medical-home-enrolled, controlling for confounders. The study concluded that medical-home enrollment is generally associated with greater likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant diabetes care for Medicaid enrollees with diabetes and schizophrenia.

Medical home characteristics and quality of diabetes care in safety net clinics.
The researchers examined associations between patient-centered medical home (PCMH) characteristics and quality of diabetes care in 15 safety net clinics in five states. They found that PCMH characteristics had mixed, inconsistent associations with the quality of diabetes care. The PCMH model may require refinement in design and implementation to improve diabetes care among vulnerable populations.
