Tele-Nursing Program Improves Gestational Diabetes Outcomes
Advance for Nurses, Advance for Nurses News Staff, 06/10/2012
Among
women with gestational diabetes mellitus, referral to a telephone-based
nurse management program was associated with lower risk of high baby
birth weight and increased postpartum glucose testing, according to
Kaiser Permanente researchers. Investigators for the Kaiser Permanente
Northern California Division of Research examined the associations
between referral to telephone-based nurse consultation and outcomes in
12 Kaiser Permanente medical centers with variation in the percent of
patients referred to telephonic nurse management. The study appears
online in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
