Description

It has long been recognized that a biopsychosocial approach to diabetes management is required for optimal health outcomes. In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health beyond the absence of disease or infirmity to include ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.’

Furthermore, the WHO constitution states the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.

The challenge lies in the delivery of healthcare that achieve these goals. Many patient-reported outcome measures have been developed for use in diabetes, however their quality is variable. Furthermore, some measures are designed for use in clinical trials rather than in clinical practice and it is often not possible to determine what represents a meaningful difference of improvement or otherwise.

In 2020, the FDA qualified the first patient-report outcome (PRO) for use specifically in diabetes. This milestone represented an achievement of parity of esteem between standardized, rigorous assessment of a physical health outcome and a mental health outcome. Translating that standard into routine clinical care is necessary to enable healthcare professionals to effectively support their patients in optimal self-management of their diabetes.

As mental health safety is increasingly recognized in parity to physical health safety, it is intended that a consensus statement will provide the blueprint for how PROs are understood and measured by regulatory approvals bodies including FDA, research funders including NIH, industry and other key stakeholders.

In this panel discussion webinar, you'll hear about the importance of PROs to ADCES and how to engage membership in developing the consensus statement; PROs in the pediatric space, including child-specific and parent-specific needs and how these can be understood; and the importance of the person with diabetes in consideration of PROs.

There is no CE/CME credit for this webinar.
