Interdisciplinary primary care team expertise and diabetes care management.
Researchers examined whether care team role expertise is associated with patients' experiences of chronic care for type 2 diabetes and whether the relationship is stronger for small community health center (CHC) sites. Results of surveys conducted with adults with diabetes that assessed nonphysician team roles involved in managing their chronic care were integrated with clinical and administrative data from 14 CHCs. They found that patients with access to care team expertise in self-management support, including diabetes educators, nutritionists, community health workers, and other general staff report better experiences of chronic care. They concluded that these team roles may reduce barriers to patient self-management and improve patients' overall experiences of chronic care, particularly in small CHC sites.
