Standard 4.
Quality Coordinator
Overseeing DSMES Services
Like the captain of a ship,
a well-qualified quality coordinator
can keep your DSMES service on course.
This person will have the oversight to ensure:
•Comprehensive planning of evidence-based services,
•Implementation of standards,
•Population outreach,
•Feedback evaluation, and
•Identification of service gaps.
Your quality coordinator
should have experience
in chronic disease management,
behavior change,
or clinical services management.
Your quality coordinator should also
be well versed
in the most current practices,
documented by 15 hours
of recently completed,
diabetes-related
professional renewal credits.
Having a qualified quality coordinator
is essential for smooth sailing.
