Embedding Education into Diabetes Practice vol18

Implementing therapeutic education in the delivery of care for chronic
diseases

The current epidemics of diabetes, obesity and related disorders makes
lifestyle modification paramount in preventive and therapeutic interventions.
This volume describes the rationale, history, methodologies and current
international recommendations that make education an integral part of modern
diabetes care. It also contains updated reports of results of clinical trials
and/or practical experiences in North America, the Netherlands, Germany and
Italy. Descriptions are given of the methods used both in general practice and
in the hospital setting to train patients on, among others, nutrition, self-
care and prevention of disease complications. Studies on the economic impact of
patient education have until now been conspicuously missing and a cost-efficacy
analysis of the Group Care approach developed in Italy is presented here. The
last chapter offers a look into the future, describing how similar principles
could also be embedded successfully in the care of people suffering from
chronic diseases other than diabetes.
The present volume of Frontiers in Diabetes will be of particular interest to
all health care providers involved in the daily management of patients with
diabetes or other chronic diseases.
