ForwardType 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis, Management and Documentation
Activity description
This integrated learning activity provides a holistic overview of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), focusing on screening and diagnosis, clinical management and documentation of complications. Learners will explore evidence-based practices and standards from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to enhance clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. The importance of early detection of T2DM through risk-based screening and standardized diagnostic criteria will be emphasized along with a discussion on the management component that will focus on maintaining glycemic control, preventing complications and optimizing treatment plans through lifestyle interventions and medication. Reinforcing best practices for accurate coding and clinical documentation, especially in cases involving complications, will be highlighted. Learners will gain skills to ensure clarity, specificity and continuity of care in medical records, even when T2D is well controlled.
