Abstract

Community health projects focusing on secondary prevention of diabetic macrovascular diseases have become increasingly common. In Daegu, Korea, a metropolitan hypertension diabetes management project has been developed in which community primary physicians refer clinic patients to education centers or clinical education teams for target education on lifestyle modification through technology-based information networks. Call centers provide information on lifestyle management and encourage continuous treatment through periodic calls and SMS. Integrative education is presented by doctors, dietitians, exercise specialists, and nurses. This project was developed in response to an educational need study of patients and educators. Patients participating in the program showed significant improvement in both self-efficiency and in clinical outcomes.
