N2  - Diabetes Mellitus is a major public health concern of epidemic proportion in the current health care climate of the United States.  Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are primary risk factors for the  development of type two diabetes (T2DM), and prominent in individuals of all ethnicities, genders, and socioeconomic status. Self-management plays a fundamental role in positive health outcomes for these individuals and therefore, attempts to improve patient knowledge, education and management of T2DM must be targeted. Group medical visits offer an innovative approach that is efficient, effective and affordable. The Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) project  addresses the inherent limitations of diabetes management in primary care through a quality improvement project and the creation of the Empowerment Diabetes Group. The DNP quality improvement project focus is threefold, including: The creation of an evidence-based curriculum  for group diabetes visits, education and staff training, and the anticipation of organization constraints and barriers to implementation. The project takes place at La Clinica del Valle’s  Wellness Center, a federally qualified health center serving a rural-urban community.
