AddressThe Diabetes Connect Case Manager is an essential link to provide guidance to support local integrated pathways for people living with Type 2 diabetes as part of the Diabetes Connect pilot. People with type 2 diabetes are at high risk of poor health outcomes and this can be exacerbated by existing barriers, that are potentially avoided.
The Diabetes Connect Case Manager will target people who are newly diagnosed or require additional support to manage their type 2 diabetes, and who are at risk of avoidable hospitalisation due to clinical and/or social risk factors. This will include targeting those with the greatest risk of poor health outcomes and greatest economic and social need, and who may face barriers to accessing care through other services/settings.
The Diabetes Case Manager is one of the key points of contact for Diabetes Connect Clients and aims to improve the health, wellbeing, and quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes through the provision of coordinated, integrated and effective person-centred care. This role will focus on the non-clinical aspects of care including health coaching, linking to social activity and improving access to virtual check-ins.
