Abstract
- The epidemic of type-2 diabetes in First Nations communities is tragic. Culturally-appropriate approaches addressing multiple components, focusing beyond glycemic control, are urgently needed. Using an intention-to-treat framework, 13 processes of care indicators were assessed to compare proportions of patients who received care at baseline relative to 2-year follow-up. Clinical improvements were demonstrated across major process of care indicators (e.g. screening, education, and vaccination activities). We found RADAR improved reporting for most diabetes processes of care across seven FN communities and was effective in supporting diabetes care for FN communities, in Alberta Canada. ● Reporting impacts of diabetes processes of care for First Nations communities in Alberta, Canada. ● Clinical improvements were demonstrated across major processes of care indicators. ● Indicators included blood pressure, kidney screening, eye/foot exams, vaccinations.
