Name of journal: Current diabetes reportsAbstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Diabetes self-management education and support improves diabetes-related outcomes, yet less than 50% of persons with diabetes in the USA receive this service. Hospital admissions present a critical opportunity for providing diabetes education. This article presents an overview of the current state of inpatient diabetes education. It incorporates a summary of existing guidance relative to content followed by an overarching discussion of existing inpatient diabetes education models and their reported outcomes, when available.RECENT FINDINGS: As diabetes rates continue to soar and adults with diabetes continue to have high hospitalization and readmission rates, hospitals face challenges in assessing and meeting diabetes patients' educational needs. The consensus recommendation for inpatient diabetes teaching is to provide survival skills education to enable safe self-management following discharge until more comprehensive outpatient education can be provided. Established and emerging models for delivery of diabetes survival skills education in the hospital may be broadly grouped as diabetes-specialty care models, diabetes non-specialty care models, and technology-supported diabetes education. These models are often shaped by the availability of diabetes specialists, including endocrinologists and diabetes educators-or lack thereof, and staffing resources for provision of services. Recent studies suggest that all three approaches can be deployed successfully if well planned. This article presents an overview of the current state of inpatient diabetes education. It incorporates a summary of existing guidance relative to content followed by an overarching discussion of existing inpatient diabetes education models and their reported outcomes, when available. The authors seek to make the reader aware of the heterogeneous approaches that are being implemented nationwide for inpatient diabetes education delivery. Meeting inpatient diabetes educational needs will require a sustained effort, diverse strategies based on resources available, and additional research to explore the impact of these strategies on outcomes.All authors: Magee MF, Montero A, Nassar CMOriginally published: Current Diabetes Reports. 19(10):103, 2019 Sep 12.Fiscal year: FY2020Digital Object Identifier:
