https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gc376-sodium.html The global prevalence of diabetes has nearly doubled since 1980. Seventy-five percent of patients with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries, such as Guatemala, where health care systems are often poorly equipped for chronic disease management. Community health workers (CHWs) and mobile health technology have increasingly been applied to the diabetes epidemic in these settings, although mostly in supportive rather than primary roles in diabetes management. We sought to improve diabetes care in rural Guatemala through the development of a CHW-led diabetes program and a smartphone application to provide CHWs with clinical decision support. We worked with our local partners to develop a program model and the smartphone application (using the CommCare platform) and to train CHWs. We recruited patients with type 2 diabetes living in rural communities. Program evaluation used a single-group, pre-post design. Primary outcomes were hemoglobin A1c and the percentage of patients meeting A1c goals comparistance of a smartphone application and remote physician supervision. This model should be evaluated versus other standards of care and could be adapted to other low-resource settings and chronic diseases. Providing professional development opportunities to staff working in clinical laboratories undergoing quality improvement programs can be challenged by limited funding, particularly in resource-limited countries such as Cambodia. Using innovative approaches such as video conferencing can connect mentors with practitioners regardless of location. This study describes and evaluates the methods, outputs, and outcomes of a quality improvement program implemented in 12 public hospital laboratories in Cambodia between January 2018 and April 2019. The program used mixed intervention methods including both in-person and remote-access training and mentorship. Training outputs were quantified from the activity reports o
