Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
This project is for homebound insulin dependent diabetics that are unable to self-administer the insulin due to a secondary diagnosis, like blindness. It will decrease the number of times they use the emergency rooms due to wrong dosage or lack of insulin. Furthermore, they will be able to stay at their own homes or ALF's longer instead of moving to a nursing home and occupying a nursing home bed needed for another patient. This project is in the second stage of development, as it grows to serve homebound diabetic patients statewide. |
