MCN will provide simultaneous translation in Spanish for this webinar.
Diabetes management continues to be a focus of health center quality improvement efforts, especially for those who are serving special populations with unique needs, such as Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAWs). In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges to the provision of chronic illness care for health center patients. This webinar will address relevant quality improvement methodologies, diabetes metrics, the impact of COVID on diabetes care, and creative diabetes care models for MSAWs.
