Abstract Purposes/Aims: Diabetes in America is increasing as one of the leading causes of death.; Self-management of this disease is crucial, and regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are; vital in averting long-term effects. This project aims to create a nurse-led diabetic clinic to; improve veteran knowledge, access, and treatment adherence with diabetes mellitus.; Rationale/Background: Diabetes care has traditionally involved provider-led clinics;; however, with the increasing chronic disease implications, nurses can help manage diabetic care.; Having nurse-led diabetic clinics can allow for the overall coordination, management, and; continuity of care.; Methods: In the outpatient primary care clinic of the Department of Veteran Affairs,; veteran access is limited due to high turnover rates with primary care providers. After the initial; diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for the veteran, a pre-survey will be given. A post-survey will be; provided quarterly while enrolled in the nurse-led diabetic clinic.; Results: The results of the implementation of a nurse-led diabetic clinic in the outpatient; primary care clinic of the Department of Veteran Affairs can improve patient satisfaction and; increase adherence to self-management of type 2 diabetes for newly diagnosed veterans.; Conclusions: Implementing a nurse-led diabetic clinic for newly diagnosed type 2; diabetic veterans can significantly reduce the progression of the disease process. Increasing; access to a nurse-led diabetic clinic allows for improved patient outcomes, enhanced patient; education, increased patient satisfaction, and decreased healthcare costs.
