Nt1310 Unit 3

2. Regarding the diabetes example in this unit 3: Consider how you would use HIT for standardization. What groups would you consider for segmentation? Why?

There are three types of diabetes. I think the best way to get a controlled study on them all is to Bundle. Bundling is a group of situations that are related to a disease process that, when executed together, result in better outcomes than when implemented individually.

Diets of Fried foods and starchy foods play a big role. There needs to be education on meal planning. For many African Americans, decreasing the cholesterol, fat, and sodium content of the diet and focusing on weight management are significant goals to help reduce the risk of diabetes complications.

Hemoglobin A1C provides an average of your blood sugar control over a six to 12 week period and is used in conjunction with home blood sugar monitoring to make adjustments in your diabetes medicines. As well as Lipid Panel’s they will be able to check your cholesterol. Usually someone that has diabetes has high cholesterol because they
