The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently announced the recognition of Pinehurst Medical Clinic through the Education Recognition Program (ERP). The Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) service was originally recognized in August of 2018.
The ADA’s Education Recognition Certificate assures that educational services meet the National Standards for DSMES. The DSMES Standards were developed and tested under the auspices of the National Diabetes Advisory Board in 1983 and were revised by the diabetes community in 1994, 2000, 2007, 2012 and 2017. The ERP promotes quality DSMES for people with diabetes by certifying that services adhere to the National Standards for DSMES.
“Daily self-management skills are absolutely essential for people to effectively navigate the 24/7 challenges of living with diabetes, helping to keep them healthy and prevent or delay the serious complications of diabetes,” said Linda Cann, MSEd, the ADA’s senior vice president of professional services, in a press release. “We applaud Pinehurst Medical Clinic for its commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based education and support for people with diabetes by meeting the National Standards for DSMES and earning the ADA’s ERP recognition.”
Services certified by the ADA’s ERP offer a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide participants with comprehensive information about diabetes management. Services apply for recognition voluntarily, and ADA-ERP recognition lasts for four years.
“Pinehurst Medical Clinic is the only ADA accredited program in Moore County, and our DSMES team consisting of Alyssa Lee, PharmD, Callie Huneycutt, MS, RD, LDN, Christa D’Ostroph, RD, LDN, Lynsi Beers, RD, LDN are committed to improving the lives of patients affected by diabetes, and we are honored to have achieved this outstanding recognition, and all that it means to those that entrust us with their care,” stated Cara Herring, LCSW, Pinehurst Medical Clinic Clinical Programs Manager, in a press release.
