The 3d collaborative is a yearlong learning collaborative that began in may 2013 and ends in june 2014. It brings health care professionals, patients and community members together to reduce diabetes disparities. Five teams will identify culturally specific best practices to improve diabetes health education, explore healthy life style choices, and eliminate barriers to care for african american and east african populations. The teams will learn and apply basic quality improvement processes to improve health outcomes. They will review current knowledge, learn from peer organizations, assess current diabetes education tools, and design culturally specific interventions. They will implement and evaluate the success of their recommendations. Outcomes data will be analyzed to determine whether improvements are occurring for each population. Once best practices are identified, they will be spread across the health system and communities.
