Abstract
Prediabetes affects more than one third of the United States population, yet there
are effective screening tools available. One of the problems identified was that risk
factor reduction was not started until after diagnosis. A quality improvement project
was implemented using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model over an 8-week time frame. Patients
were screened for prediabetes risk. Patients who screened positive used shared decision-making
to select treatment. An effective-care checklist graded the visits. The overall effectiveness
of prediabetic care increased from 16.7% to 46.7%. Patients benefit from screening
to reduce the health care burden of chronic conditions.
