Byetta training

Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly and Company are offering a free education program called "Managing Your Diabetes". A diabetes educator will teach the program. During this session, the patient will learn more about Type 2 Diabetes and how to improve glucose control with BYETTA. We had stopped providing the classes due to the high no show rate, but the educator is willing to try this a second time if we can line up at least 5 patients a session.

To help facilitate this program, we have set up "schedule" in MARS. As a nurse or receptionist, please schedule the patient under the "Education" in the MARS scheduling system. There is a 10am session on 5-8 and a 2pm session on 5-29. When scheduling, just hit "add new" at the time slot and add the patient. Pt will not be charged for the session, but we are trying to encourage patients to show up for the training. Hopefully, having an "appt" will help motivate them to show up.
