Impact of Pharmacy Clinic on Diabetes Management

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

The Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak Outpatient Clinic (and other listed Beaumont recruiting locations) care for over 900 patients with diabetes. In an effort to improve the care provided to our patients, a pharmacist managed diabetes clinic (PMDC) was created. The investigators looked at patients with high-risk diabetes who have received education in the PMDC and compared them to patients that didn't not receive the pharmacy education. Our preliminary data showed a significant decrease in Hemoglobin A1c in the PMDC compared to our standard care cohort. Hemoglobin A1c is a marker of the severity of diabetes mellitus. Based on this data, we designed a randomized controlled trial to better assess the impact of a PMDC on diabetic outcomes.
