Pharmacists run telehealth clinic to keep veterans independent

摘要

The man had poor control over his blood glucose concentrations and a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA_(IC)) value of 8.6% when he first came to the attention of clinical pharmacy specialist Kristin To. With a change to 500-unit/mL insulin in concert with monitoring and dosage adjustments by the pharmacist-run diabetes telehealth clinic where To works, the man's HbA_(IC) value was 6.7% at the most recent check.rnTo is one of three pharmacists who run the three-year-old diabetes telehealth clinic at the flagship medical facility in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Palo Alto Health Care System in California.
