CDMP

What is it?
The Comprehensive Diabetes Management Program (CDMP) is a complete customizable web-based clinical application for management of patients with diabetes. CDMP's primary users are care managers who facilitate interactions between patients and the diabetes care team, including physicians, nurses, educators, exercise physiologists, nutritionists, and behavioral clinicians.

CDMP embraces the six components for diabetes comprehensive care proposed in the Chronic Care Model, developed by Edward Wagner, M.D. that provides an optimal design for needed comprehensive care. Its six components are:

  1. Coordination with community resources
  2. Strategic commitment of the organization
  3. Support of patient self management
  4. Redesign of delivery system
  5. Clinical decision support and
  6. Clinical information systems.

CDMP employs a continuum-of-care model (in distinction to the episodic care available through the traditional acute care provision model) that fosters productive interactions between patients who take an active part in their care and a variety of providers backed up by resources and expertise. Thus, the patient is an informed, proactive self-manager using CDMP support to keep their diabetes in control and provide them with ongoing training to minimize their complications, symptoms and disability. The core of the effectiveness of the CDMP is its ability to empower the patient.

The CDMP includes the following major components:

  • Care Manager - showcases features and functionality for every member of the clinical care team
  • DM Everywhere - patient portal application allows for secure communication with care team and much more...
  • Study Manager - efficient management, data collection, and reporting for clinical research studies
  • Survey Tool - allows for patient data collection in support of standard care or research
  • Reporting - enables population and patient-level reporting supported by the storage of discrete clinical data

CDMP has been in development since 2001 and represents the cumulative results of many thousands of hours of effort from technical as well as clinical resources.
