    and trained to treat patients with diagnoses of
  • Overweight and at risk of overweight
  • Pre-diabetes
  • Diabetes
  • Dyslipidemia
  • Hypertension
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome

Ethnicity

Pre-diabetes Diabetes
Associated morbidities High cholesterol
High blood pressure Polycystic ovarian
syndrome
Hispanics and Native Americans are at increased
risk of developing diabetes
24 of NM HS students and 22 of low income
kids aged 2-5 years are overweight of at risk of
overweight Twice as many Native Americans are
overweight as whites in NM.

Pediatric Specialty Care
  • New Mexico has only 2.7 FTE pediatric
    endocrinologists
  • UNM Patients with type 2 diabetes wait 2-3
    months for an appointment. Those with
    pre-diabetes will not be seen.
  • Presbyterian Patient with pre-diabetes will wait
    is 6-8 weeks for an appointment.
  • Specialists are interested in our service to
    alleviate their overwhelming caseloads.
  • Primary care providers are interested because
  • They dont feel competent treating these patients
  • They state they have no where to refer patients
    for care

Need for Specialized Medical Care
  • Overweight is associated with a number of medical
    conditions that community pediatric providers are
    under-skilled in treating
  • Diabetes and pre-diabetes
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • Need for lifestyle modification (diet and
    exercise)
  • These diagnoses were so rare in the pediatric
    population until recently that most clinicians
    were not trained to treat them.
  • Due to lack of standardized medical guidelines,
    providers rely heavily on pediatric specialty
    care.

Clinical Sites Gallop
  • Gallop Indian Medical Center
  • Primary care providers will receive 15 mins. of
    CME training/ session
  • Providers will present patients, alleviating the
    need for many to travel to Albuquerque for
    specialty care
  • Over time, providers will gain the necessary
    skills to work-up and treat patients in the
    community setting. Telehealth services will not
    be a permanent need.
  • More patients will be seen, earlier in their
    illnesses.
  • Memorandum of Understanding is in process

11
Clinical Sites Silver City
  • Hidalgo Health Center Silver City SBHC
  • Envision has teamed with Alberta Kong, MD, MPH
    from UNM
  • In addition to the services at Gallop, all
    students in 10th and 11th grades will be screened
    for diabetes risk factors, acanthosis nigricans
    and body mass index 85th
  • Those at risk will receive a full work-up for
    pre-diabetes and diabetes and be followed at six
    month intervals for 18 months (as part of a
    research study.)

Conclusion
  • The Envision Tele-health clinic will create
    centers of excellence throughout the state for
    the treatment of pediatric overweight.
  • These centers will increase access to care for
    children and adolescents with medical
    complications of overweight.
  • Patients will receive treatment in their home
    community.
