Multidisciplinary Approach to Improve Diabetic Foot Care: an Investigation of Clinical and Economic Outcomes.

"The study investigated a multidisciplinary approach consisting of an endocrinologist, a diabetes specialized nurse, and a clinical pharmacist to assess and improve diabetic foot care by systematic screening, patients' risk categorization, therapy optimization, and tailored education.~Risk of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) occurrence was assessed and evaluated by the endocrinologist, and the nurse based on the 2019 International Working Group on Diabetes Mellitus (IWGDF). At that point, only the clinical pharmacist knew about patients' allocations.~According to risk stratification, the clinical pharmacist provided intervention patients with educational sessions and tailored materials during scheduled three months follow-up interviews at Jordan University Hospital (JUH) DFU-related clinics.~Moreover, the study evaluated the impacts of the multidisciplinary approach on health-related Quality of Life (QoL) at baseline and at the end of the study. Economic impacts were also further analyzed."
