• Attendance  

Please see separate Attendance Sheet. 

• Seattle Children’s  – Yasi Mohsenian (Presenter)

Barrier Reduction in Insulin pump Delivery for Greater Equity (BRIDGE)- an Intervention focused on patients with a primary language of care other than English. 

Multiple interventions (4) to assist patients whose primary language is not English.  

Discussion – Don welcomed the data slide and noted how there could have been a shift in the run chart, which would have been even better news as far as results are concerned.  

Christy Byer-Mendoza loved the pump education being incorporated into visits and would like to know how the center got buy in.  

Blake Adams liked the comparison handout. 

• Barbara Davis Center (Adults) Emma Mason (Presenter)

Improving access to diabetes technologies for minority patients.  

 CGM Adult Equity Project 

Emma provided an overview of BDC’s clinic operations, a CGM/Pump Process Map and a breakdown of CGM use by race. 

 She walked us through the 4 PDSA cycles (inquiring with patients about their technology use and aspirations, creating a potential patient population, and providing a patient questionnaire). 

 Patient concerns fell into two buckets, “nervous about change” and “cost” and both were addressed and analyzed.  

 The next PDSA cycle will focus on calling patients and discussing barriers with them and perhaps adding to this concern is contacting patients who have fallen through the cracks. 

• Questions and Closing Remarks 

Plans for the next meeting occurrence were discussed.
