Management of type 2 diabetes should include shared decision making, and patients should be offered individualized diabetes self-management education and glycemic management plans, according to a summary of a clinical practice guideline published online Oct. 23 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Paul R. Conlin, M.D., from the VA Boston Healthcare System in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, and colleagues convened a joint U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Evidence-Based Practice Work Group to develop a guideline for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The authors provided updates on management within seven areas: patient-centered care and shared decision making, glycemic biomarkers, target ranges of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), individualized treatment plans, pharmacologic treatment in the outpatient setting, glucose targets for critically ill patients, and treatment for patients in the hospital. Patients should be offered individualized diabetes self-management education, as well as individualized glycemic management plans and target ranges for HbA1c. "In summary, the VA/DoD CPG [clinical practice guideline] attempts to convey to clinicians, policymakers, and patients the rationale for personalizing treatment on the basis of results from major trials, limitations of the HbA1c test, and evaluation of patient risk for adverse drug events. Conveying complex information in an understandable manner to individual patients and families through a formal process of shared decision making is thus foundational to setting and revising goals that are meaningful, safe, and achievable in everyday clinical practice," the authors write.

Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) Training Workshop is organized by Texas Children's Hospital and will be held during Mar 07 - 11, 2018 at Texas, USA. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 38.75 contact hours. Course Description are : The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is used to measure how well a client performs familiar activities of daily living (ADL). The AMPS can be used with any client, regardless of diagnosis or age, as long as the client is at least the developmental age of 2 years and is familiar with performing some ADL tasks. There are over 125 ADL tasks included in the AMPS, from very easy self-care tasks to multi-step domestic tasks (including outdoor tasks and shopping). The AMPS measures represent how well the client performs ADL tasks, in terms of physical effort, efficiency, safety, and independence. These measures take into consideration the difficulty of the tasks the client performed and the unique scoring severity of the occupational therapist administering the AMPS. The occupational therapist can use a client's AMPS measures to plan the occupation-based and occupation-focused intervention, develop occupation-focused goals, and write occupation-focused documentation. AMPS measures can also be used as outcome measures providing evidence that a client's occupational performance changed. Using this innovative assessment tool will expand your practice by helping you deliver more occupation-centered services. Course Objectives are : Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Understand the theoretical foundation for using the assessment tool to promote occupation centered and client-centered practice. * Administer, score, and interpret the assessment tool in a valid and reliable manner. * Use assessment results to plan occupational therapy interventions. * Interpret the results of a follow-up assessment to analyze the effectiveness of interventions. * Integr
