BD will equip diabetes educators to aid people with
diabetes who are being initiated on insulin
Beginning this week, BD, the medical technology brand will
work withdiabetes management hospital
professionals in Columbia Asia hospitals across India, for a period of nine
months through its BD Getting Started program. The aim
is to equip diabetes educators with customized solutions and aid clinicians and
people with diabetes who are being initiated on insulin. The collaboration will
provide a certification to the Diabetes Educators who will be imparted
knowledge and intensive hands-on training.
The BD Getting Started is a
Diabetes educational resource program for insulin users. It is a
collaboratively designed program for health system leaders looking to achieve
the best-in-class care insulin injection experience for patients initiating
insulin. These customized solutions focus on targeted improvements to
standardize clinical best practices and eliminate variation in insulin
initiation. The result is improved patient care, comfortable insulin
experience, and improved clinical outcomes for those injecting insulin.
‘For nearly 90
years, BD’s culture of innovation and continuous improvement has enhanced the
patient experience to enable better diabetes therapy and outcomes. We are glad
that we are collaborating with Columbia Asia Hospitals to support their
diabetes management program. BD has always taken a prominent role in educating
doctors, allied healthcare professionals and patients on earlier initiation and
better adherence to injectable therapies, thus helping people living with
diabetes live healthier lives,’ said Varun Khanna, managing director, BD-India.
The BD Getting Started program for
Columbia Asia will have two objectives: to help clinicians initiate their
patients to insulin therapy using a structured methodology; and to ensure adherence
to therapy across the first nine months. The focus will be on customization and
consistency of care through safe and comfortable insulin administration.
‘Columbia Asia Hospitals has completed more than a decade
in India. In the past 10 years, we have witnessed a substantial increase in the
incidence of diabetes in our markets. Our hospitals cater to a large number of
diabetics and educating them and helping them lead an active and healthy
life is our top most priority. We are happy to collaborate with BD India for
certification programs to enhance the skill-sets of our Diabetes educators, who
in turn will help our patients manage their diabetes well. Initiation of
patients on insulin always presents a challenge to care providers and through
this initiative, we intend to offer a best-in-class care insulin injecting
experience to our patients,’ said Mr. Tufan Ghosh, CEO, Columbia Asia Hospitals
Pvt Ltd.
