We're taking a close up look at hospital care when you have type 2 - from the people who grade the hospitals. 30% of patients admitted for acute care have diabetes. But many hospitals aren’t prepared or have staff trained to take care of this. My guests - from the watchdog group Leapfrog and from the ADA, will talk about what’s been doing right and how you can be better prepared if you need hospital care.
My guests this week are Leah Binder, President and CEO of the Leapfrog Group, Dr. Robert Gabbay, Chief Science & Medical Officer of the American Diabetes Association.
The Leapfrog group is a watchdog org focused on health care safety in hospitals, will soon announce a list of hospitals for their Recognized Leaders in Caring for People Living with Diabetes, a first-ever national recognition program that aims to hold hospitals accountable for providing high-quality care for people living with diabetes.
