Diabetes House Call is the brainchild of StephenPonder, MD CDE. Many of you know him as the MedicalDirector of Texas Lions Summer Camp for Kids withDiabetes in Kerrville, Texas.
While most of your contact with Dr. Ponder will beover the interactive video network or through the cellphone, there are certain minimum face-timerequirements to make this relationship work. Forstarters, DHC patients can only become a member of DHC after aface-to-face visit with Dr. Ponder. After all, thisis the beginning of a long-distance relationship anddeveloping that relationship is key to your patient's success.After the initial encounter, face-to-face visits aremandatory once every 12 months and could happen morefrequently depending on what's going on with your patient's diabetes. Assuming everything is rolling along withthe usual highs and lows, frequent interaction overthe DHC telemedicine network may be sufficient.
DHC Care Kits are also a regular part of the program.Depending on your profile and the nature of thescheduled visit, DHC staff will ship a box to the patient's home or work with all of the necessary tests and formsto support the best possible upcoming visit. Itincludes things like a Home A1c test kit and detailed instructions forself-reporting glucose and insulin data along withother medications and changes since the patient's last visit.
Visits will be scheduled by the patient'sfamily with Dr. Ponder's clinic. If the patient has to miss their visit, they arewelcome to grab the next vacancy available.
If your patient needs help getting things setup, the technicalsupport team at healthimo is there to help in advance of thescheduled visit.
If there areopportunities for patients to file on their own, we'll helpthem do it.
