There is a prevalence of diabetes. According to the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services, in southeast Missouri, 12.7% of the population currently has diabetes¹ This is compared to a 9.6% average prevalence within the state of Missouri¹ In addition, according to the U. S. Department of Health, only 12% of the population in our country has proficient health literacy ² Input on 14 videos from the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP)³
Diabetes education is an important part of a patient’s visit These videos can help to provide reinforcement to diabetes education Waiting room time is often wasted time
This video project will provide a way to capture and teach those individuals who are not picking up the pamphlets on the tables—the ones who are taking those printed education documents and “filing” them as soon as they leave the office The National Diabetes Education Program has provided valuable information in these short videos Great advantage to patients having the opportunity to view these videos in the waiting room prior to their visit
The subjects in these videos are regular people who are dealing with the issues that diabetes places in their lives. The patient populations in Missouri and Kansas will identify with the patients in these short, informative videos Healthcare in this country is changing. It’s challenging. It’s expensive
The Affordable Care Act has required all insurance carriers to provide preventive health services to patients at no cost Something as small as a video loop playing in a waiting room can go a long way in educating, prompting questions, and even motivating patients. It’s a win-win for both patients and providers
