Summary

This study is examining the feasibility of implementing an occupational therapy intervention addressing diabetes management in a primary care clinic within the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC-DHS), as well as the impact of this intervention approach on clinical outcomes, efficiency and patient-centeredness of care. This implementation science study is evaluating two emerging trends in healthcare delivery: (1) the integration of nontraditional providers into primary care medical home (PCMH) settings to facilitate the delivery of high-quality, comprehensive primary care while reducing the burden on physicians; and (2) the potential value of using occupational therapists to address chronic disease management in this setting
