Project Description:
CMS children have been seriously underrepresented in these educational programs compared to the CMS statewide population of children with diabetes. There are many barriers to indigent children receiving this service, including unawareness of the program by social workers and CMS nurses. Further they often lack clothes, equipment and transportation to the programs and do not realize that CMS will reimburse for camp services. This funding is expected to enhance CMS patient participation and to provide additional programming to meet the needs of CMS children and their families with Type 2 diabetes. The funding will be used to provide in-service presentations to nurses and social workers in each district statewide, print materials to help families with the registration process, transportation of families to the events, provision of clothing and supplies to CMS children at camp, and development of 1 day programs for children and their families in the locality. Development of similar programs for children with type 2 diabetes will be undertaken.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Increased numbers of CMS children attending diabetes camping programs
