SPECIALTY CARE
Our Members
Michigan Collaborative for Type 2 Diabetes is a coalition of over 1000 physicians, coming together from across 346 primary care, endocrinology, and nephrology practices, all of whom are represented by 28 physician organizations spanning the state.
Each practice unit elects at least one clinical champion to represent the practice in specialized trainings, committees, regional, and collaborative-wide gatherings. Here’s a breakdown of the 2021 MCT2D Clinical Champions, by profession.
Testimonials from Our Members and POs
“I’m really impressed with the MCT2D CQI team – you all are super sharp and are doing a fantastic job being conscientious about making this program work for the members and making adjustments based on our feedback. I appreciate all of your hard work on this developing program and the integrity of your team’s work. Please spread the word – it is a pleasure working with you all.”
-PO Administrative Lead
“I learned some tips for how to talk with a patient who may be hesitant to start another injectable. I learned different resources to help Medicare patients who might be struggling with coverage.”
— Clinical Champion and SGLT2 and GLP1 Part 2 Training Participant
“I appreciated the examples of wording on how to get the CGM covered or to continue coverage. I never thought to have a standard statement as a reply or documentation to prevent any issues with coverage”
— Clinical Champion and CGM Part 1 Training Participant
“Thank you for sharing and addressing the concerns voiced during the initial [member] interviews. That was a great part of the meeting.”
— Kickoff Meeting Attendee
“I'd like a copy of the [training] slides to reference during the course of my day.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Medications Training Participant and Member
“[The training was] absolutely what I needed to review the mechanism of glp1 and sglt2. The drug reps are where I receive most of my info so they rarely go into any in depth education on contraindications so I really valued that information.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Medications Training Participant and Member
“The training was very informative. However, I really feel we do need much more training, especially the physicians for monitoring the CGM, monitoring patient's diets and adjusting medications. I think this will be tough in the beginning. I see the benefit but we need to be prepared to really help patients through this.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Participant and Member
“I have not had a lot of patients who are using these [continuous glucose] monitors so this has been very informative.”
— Clinical Champion and MCT2D Virtual Academy Participant
“[We were] very excited to be a part of the MCT2D CQI, as it seamlessly aligned with ongoing efforts of working with patients that have type 2 diabetes.”
— Participating PO
“[It was] nice to hear first hand how patients are being impacted by this type of work.”
— Kickoff Meeting Attendee
“The coordinating center for the initiative has been very organized throughout and they have done a fantastic job of compiling resources available for both clinicians and patients.”
— Participating PO
“I loved the interactive aspect of this presentation. Having the polls allowed me to make a decision without input or advice from others. Once the outcome of the polls were presented and explained, this allowed me to understand if my thought process was on track or not.”
— Clinical Champion and MCT2D Virtual Academy participant
