Library of Patient Handouts for Diabetes Education

Summary

This new PC-compatible resource, unlike anything available in the marketplace, was developed by Milner-Fenwick in collaboration with the American Association of Diabetes Educators.

Product FAQs

• The AADE recently conducted a survey of its membership to identify types of patient education material that would be of high interest to Diabetes Educators. Handouts on a CD-ROM was rated one of the top preferences. Primary reasons for its appeal were the flexibility in teaching, along with the low cost and renewable nature of this product. Also, the respondents requested a complete, up-to-date resource that would remain responsive to the evolving needs of the diabetes healthcare community.

• Basic Skills for Self-Care includes 52 topics, 19 worksheets and 1 assessment sheet. There are a total of 121 pages covering 10 categories, plus a 7-page glossary.
• The materials that comprise this product are: the CD-ROM, a complete set of professionally-printed handouts for your reference and the introductory pages (index, instructions for use, frequently asked questions, glossary and a user license agreement). All of the material is packaged in an attractive binder with dividers that allows you to organize the pages to suit your needs.

• Basic Skills for Self-Care reflects the AADE curriculum and covers the basic skills your patients will find essential for effective self-management. For the needs of educators, the 10 areas required for ADA recognition and diabetes education reimbursement are covered.

• The content of the handouts was developed in close coordination with AADE Members as well as the AADE Patient Education Review Committee. It reflects the very latest teaching guidelines and terminology.
• Each handout is designed with two purposes in mind: first, to communicate its primary message in the most effective way possible and help the educator impart the basic skills necessary for self-care; secondly, to integrate with the other handouts. Consistent language and graphics draw attention to recurring themes throughout the library. The real advantage of this design is that the healthcare provider can re-arrange the material, mixing and matching it to best serve their teaching methods and the needs of their individual patients.
• Topics and their worksheets encourage interaction between patients and their healthcare providers and help individualize the material for each patient.
• Text is larger than normal with generous spacing for easier reading.

• You have a complete library of topics and worksheets that you can mix and match to accommodate your individual program and the unique needs of each of your patients.
• Print as many as you need in color or black and white.
• Storing traditional tear-off sheets covering this range of material would take up office space and might become outdated before you could use all of them.
• The notebook allows you to arrange the topics for your curriculum.
• The interface allows you to easily access and print the pages individually or by topic or reference number.

• This product was produced by Milner-Fenwick in cooperation with the American Association of Diabetes Educators. Milner-Fenwick has been a publishing partner of AADE since 1994 when they produced the first of a growing library of patient education videos. Milner-Fenwick has been creating high quality patient education videos for over 25 years and has publishing relationships with dozens of medical associations and healthcare organizations.

• We plan to update and refine the topics of Basic Skills for Self-Care based on the needs and requests of the diabetes healthcare community.
• We have identified topics for volumes Two and Three: Basic Skills for Daily Living and Problem Solving.
• With this product, we look forward to establishing a relationship between Milner-Fenwick and the diabetes healthcare provider. Milner-Fenwick will be actively soliciting buyers’ experience and suggestions regarding this product so that we can continue to make it a more valuable tool for you in the future.

• At this time, it can be used only on a Windows® PC.

• No. The CD-ROM is copy protected and it is a violation of your user agreement to copy it.
• The CD-ROM must be in the computer in order to work and print.

• You can print as many copies as you like as long as the handouts are only distributed to, or used by, patients who are seeking medical care directly from you, the purchaser, or by the institution (single building location only) who is identified as the original purchaser. You can share this product with a colleague if they are in the same building of your facility.
• Please see the License Agreement and contact us for the complete terms and limitations of this product’s use.

• The handouts can be printed on most color or black and white laser or ink-jet printers.

• The high resolution and graphic nature of these pages take longer to print than text documents. However, minimizing or closing other open programs, including the handout interface, may help your system print faster. Also, you might be able to print faster and still get acceptable quality by selecting a lower quality, or draft, print setting to speed the process.
• Once a page is loaded into memory, some printers will produce multiple copies of a page rather quickly.

• You can photocopy the pages, however, the best results are usually achieved by printing the handouts directly on your own printer. While we do not recommend photocopying, if you do photocopy from the reference pages, we suggest that you experiment with different settings for best results.

• A blank space has been reserved in the upper right-hand corner of each handout to allow overprinting your organization’s name or logo.
• Some printers also have features such as watermarking that allow you to include your name or logo as you print each handout.
