SUMMARY:Curb Diabetes Complications and Costs
DESCRIPTION:Diabetes can lead to serious complications\, and one of the costliest — and least discussed — is diabetic foot amputations. Even more surprising is the mortality rate for individuals who have experienced an amputation which is higher than that of many cancers. While the reality is discouraging\, the leading cause of many amputations\, foot ulcers\, is preventable. Join us for an informative session to learn more about this serious issue facing your members with complex diabetes and how you can better manage it. \nKey takeaways: \n• Learn about diabetic foot complications and the impact they have on overall health \n• Understand how to identify members at risk of foot complications and how to target them for a virtual care program \n• Discover how individuals with previous foot complications including amputations can be highly motivated and engaged with monitoring solutions \n• Hear how one Medicaid plan partnered with Podimetrics to lower costs and improve outcomes for their most complex members \nDiabetic amputations represent a significant indicator of health inequity. Implementing an impactful program can help reach your most vulnerable members\, not only supporting their foot health but also addressing their social determinants of health. \nPresenters: \nDavidica Brodersen \nVice President of Enterprise Health Services \nPodimetrics \nGary Rothenberg\, DPM \nMedical Director \nPodimetrics \n \nPodimetrics provides a virtual care solution combining advanced remote monitoring with personalized support\, empowering individuals with complex diabetes to reduce complications\, lower costs\, and improve outcomes. Our approach begins with diabetic foot health and addresses the broader health challenges faced by people with diabetes. At the core of our solution is the SmartMat™—a scientifically validated technology integrating clinical intelligence and real-time monitoring to detect complications before they start. By enabling timely\, targeted interventions\, we help payors\, providers\, and patients prevent serious complications\, saving lives and limbs.
