Formal Diabetes Patient Education Sessions

Diabetes Outlook® Builds Brand Engagement

Diabetes patients who are experiencing poor glucose control are frequently referred for 1-to-1 diabetes education, where they receive counseling about new medications, glucose monitoring and dietary change.

The Diabetes Outlook Patient Education Program integrates brand communications within these care discussions.

Diabetes Outlook Intercepts Patients In An Influential & Educational Context

Addressing a Range of Important Health Issues

Diabetes education sessions are typically composed of hour long sessions led by an HCP who provides personalized recommendations for the patient.  It’s an effective touch-point for marketers to deliver brand messaging at a time when patients & HCPs are working to improve diabetes management for better outcomes.

The Program

Diabetes Outlook is a cooperative marketing program distributed by HCPs to diabetes patients who are undertaking education through 500+ participating physician offices and diabetes educators. Since 2003, the program has delivered measurable gains in building brand awareness, HCP/patient discussions and patient action.

Customized professional program options are also available to reach targeted physicians at scale.

HCP Feedback

“We have been fortunate to work with you for the past 3 or 4 years. Receiving these gift bags have been excellent in helping us educate our patients with diabetes. We are able to go through the information, coupons and goodies and discuss how these things might help with their control, and/or gain better quality of life. And isn’t that what we all hope to have? Sometimes, these gift bags are what gets the conversations going. I am a CDE in a hospital dealing with inpatients. The gift bag program opens doors so that a conversation can begin, and then maybe a relationship built. These offerings have helped multiple individuals to look at their situation differently or to find a product that could help.”

Washington Regional Medical Center

“The gift bags are being used in our DM Education Classes as well as during one-on-one education. The patients have been so happy to receive them, to reinforce what they are learning by having the information booklets, to saving with the coupons, to the samples. They are just a wonderful addition to teaching our patients better ways to manage their diabetes. We are so thankful to have this gift to share with them. Thank you!”

CareSouth

“We offer these packages to every patient that comes in with a DM type I or II diagnosis. They are so pleased to feel cared for and are eager to see all the samples and educational information. Many times, they comment on how it makes them feel like we care about their well-being and I feel it gives them a boost in the direction to take their health and maintenance into their own hands.”

Penn Highlands Healthcare

“By giving patients nuggets of information over time, they feel less overwhelmed… it’s useful to newly diagnosed patients, and patients who have attended education sessions in the past but now need to be more aware of their numbers, food intake, etc.”
