If you are a healthcare institution and would like to do a research project with us on (iCrush) Diabetes Vital Checklist, email us at hi@vitalchecklist.com
At present, Dr. Harpreet Singh has used this tool to coach medical students in Vital Checklist USMLE Workshop. These students have further used this in their USMLE Step 2 CS exam to explain the complications of diabetes to Standardized Patients. Dr. Singh has explained diabetic complications using (iCrush) Diabetes Vital Checklist to his patients and has received excellent reviews on HealthGrades.com.
We have not validated this tool with the research but would like to do one by joining hands with a healthcare institution.
Let's join hands and do research now
Testimonials & Reviews
I saw a 57-year-old Caucasian female with a past medical history of diabetes, hypertension, hyper cholesterol and coronary artery disease. Apart from taking a history, doing a physical examination planning assessment and plan, I always ask this question, “What else do you want to know about diabetes?” Diabetes is a complex disease and if I ask, “Do you have questions?” Most of the time my patients’ answer is nothing. If I ask do you know about diabetes, their answer is always affirmative as they know everything about diabetes. I think either patient knows everything or knows nothing. Asking a closed-ended question usually ends the communication with the patient and health caregiver goes to the next patient room. After the encounter with the patient, usually a medical assistant, or a nurse prints out diabetic education material which some patients leave in their cars, others throw in the trash or put in a shredder. Giving a pamphlet and checking the box to appease insurance companies is considered patient education. Can we change habits by just handing a pamphlet?
