Diabetes affects patients throughout the healthcare system... inpatient, outpatient, home care, emergency, and more. But diabetes care has often been limited to outpatient education. Reimbursement is rarely enough to cover the actual cost of providing a high quality program, and outpatient education programs are closing across the country.

Now we know that diabetes educators can serve as a powerful catalyst to improve diabetes care throughout the entire healthcare continuum. With the ediba® program, you can learn to teach clinical staff throughout the hospital to better manage care of patients with diabetes. This gives your hospital staff and patients basic knowledge on managing the disease, which then continues as patients move into the outpatient program.

As a diabetes educator, you can play a vital role in changing the entire healthcare system. You become the clinical expert in diabetes care, working with physicians and staff hospital-wide to provide optimal care for all patients with diabetes.
