School Partnered Collaborative Care (SPACE) - October 2024

Children with type 1 diabetes receive a great deal of their management in school under the care and supervision of school nurses. Presently, school nurses follow diabetes medical orders from the child's treating diabetes provider. However, the relationship between school nurses and the medical team is otherwise highly variable, and typically these groups work in silos. One of the primary goals of this activity is to create a virtual space for school nurses and a member of the diabetes medical team to meet and discuss aspects of diabetes management, personalized to the student's health and education needs. We anticipate that participation in this activity will foster more effective communication between these different groups.
