S17 - Remote Patient Monitoring to Support Interprofessional Diabetes Care and Decrease Clinical Inertia

People with complex diabetes who require advanced care often experience delays scheduling endocrinology appointments due to long wait lists and high patient volumes. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) can help to bridge gaps in care between appointments and decrease clinical inertia, effectively shortening the time to achieve diabetes goals. This presentation discusses the development and implementation of an interprofessional RPM program in an outpatient endocrinology clinic, outlines the roles and responsibilities of the various team members (endocrinologists, endocrinology fellows, DCES, enrollment coordinators, clinical pharmacists, pharmacy residents), and reviews strategies to effectively integrate diabetes care and education specialists into the clinical management team.
