Diabetes Management

Utilizing Uniform Data System (UDS) data, Mass League staff conduct data analysis and provide health centers with health equity score cards indicating differences in uncontrolled diabetes based on patient race and ethnicity. For access to your health centers’ scorecard or Chi-Square Analysis from past years, please reach out to Jessica Saad-Esposito.

This is a portfolio of resources intended for community health center staff committed to improving outcomes for patients with diabetes. These resources specifically focus on interventions that a health center can readily implement into practice. Based on the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) framework, the toolkit structures interventions into four categories: Patient Activation and Behavior Change, Reducing Health Inequities, Optimizing Teams, and Health Systems and Infrastructure.

This tool, often used in learning collaboratives, assists health centers in identifying research-based drivers of positive change in patient outcomes. The tool suggests changes that health centers can test in PDSAs in order to support patients and providers in diabetes management.

The Mass League’s Diabetes Management Program aims to help health centers improve results on diabetes measures, with a focus on reducing health disparities, increasing patient engagement in care, and building community partnerships to address social determinants of health.
