Team clinic: Expansion of a multidisciplinary care model for adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescent and young adults (AYA) with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) experience more difficulty with glycemic control than patients in all other age groups. The shared medical appointment (SMA) model has been effective in multiple healthcare populations, but the feasibility and effectiveness of SMA in AYA patients with T1D is unclear.

Methods

This research leverages the team's multidisciplinary expertise to develop an engaging intervention toolkit and test the implementation of the Team Clinic care model for the treatment of T1D among middle school adolescents in a large urban children's hospital serving an economically, racially and ethnically diverse population. In Phase 1, the team will manualize the Team Clinic care model into an engaging, age-appropriate educational
