Q&A Corner

There have been several newly asked questions on the internal member website. Please use this link to respond and see all questions.

New Questions:

Question:

I’d like to develop a checklist of skills and competencies for success on HCL that can be used to be sure we’ve provided patients and families with all appropriate education prior to pump start. Does anyone use something like this to ensure all skills for success are taught, reinforced or reviewed prior to pump start?

Question:

Hi All, Does anyone have a patient handout or education material that goes over insulin pump troubleshooting when patients start new pumps? I found some information through ADCES, but curious what you all see at your sites that you would find helpful to have on an insulin pump troubleshooting handout. Thanks!
