Certified Diabetes Education
Comorbid Dyslipidemia
How does diabetes telehealth work?
AristaMD provides access to diabetes telehealth service featuring Certified Diabetes Educators. Using an eConsult solution, these specialists provide resources to help patients understand and manage diabetes, change behaviors that are detrimental to the management of their condition, and define treatment goals. They also help PCPs educate and support people affected by diabetes by including resources in the eConsult response. Certified Diabetes Educators have additional training in the prevention of diabetes, prediabetes, and diabetes management.

Five Ways eConsults Support Value-based Care
AristaMD offers five ways our eConsults support value-based care whereby a primary care provider, a nurse practitioner, or a PA can submit electronic information to our team of specialists. As a result, eConsults beautifully compliment telehealth while the US government expands its reach.
#1 Help patients avoid unnecessary face-to-face specialty visits
About 70% of eConsults can address what physicians would typically send forward for a face-to-face specialty visit. As a web-based physician-to-physician consultation, there is no need for any particular technology or integration — the PCP orders the referral the same way they would traditionally order one. Or suppose the patient was to go face-to-face for a specialty consult, with the provider using our referral nurse coordination, RNN service, our nurse navigators. In that case, our nurse will curate the eConsults by grabbing all of the data needed for the patient from the chart. Private health information is then sent to our specialist, who reviews the data and provides an evidence-based response on the best practice and management of that patient. Within four to six hours, the primary care provider receives a notification and can view the eConsult specialist’s recommendations.
