Abstract:
Based on Shanghai Guideline for Diabetes Prevention and Treatment(2005), 578patients with diabetes or abnormal glucose metabolism in Shi Men Er Road Community were managed at different levels during the past 2 years. Seventy percent of the patients were identified by general practitioners. Follow-up was initiated by general practitioners(60%)or other healthcare providers(40%).Our findings suggested that traditional disease management model focused mainly on acute conditions, while community health center-based model Was expected to meet the need for chronic disease prevention and treatment and play an important role in minimizing economic burden and improving doctor-and-patient relationship.
