Diabetes Collaborative

 

Collaborative Teams

 

In 1999 the Bureau of Primary Health Care developed “Collaborative Teams” to help Community Health Agencies to improve the health of underserved populations and increase access to care.  This is done by working with Community Health Agencies on specific chronic diseases (Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Depression and Asthma).  The Collaborative helps these agencies redesign their way of providing health care so patients are healthier and are able to self-manage their disease more effectively.

 

In 2003 Generation’s joined this effort and established their first team to focus on Diabetes.  Since then we have spread this process to our other sites.  Each site has a Collaborative Team that focus’ on Diabetes as well as other Chronic Diseases and how we can provide better care to our patients.
