Using an in-clinic machine and a small blood sample, physicians can review a patient\u2019s average blood sugar level for the past two to three months, in as little as five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe addition of point-of-care testing systems in NYC Health + Hospitals clinics enables a physician to assess a patient\u2019s average blood sugar level at the time of the patient\u2019s appointment,\u201d said Dr. Dave Chokshi, Chief Population Health Officer of OneCity Health and Senior Assistant Vice President at NYC Health + Hospitals. \u201cThis snapshot is especially important for patients who may not have been seen by their doctor recently. It helps physicians make necessary adjustments to a patient\u2019s treatment plan at the time of their appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A1c testing measures a two-to-three-month period of time, providing an average for the amount of hemoglobin in the blood that has glucose attached to it. A high A1c level indicates poor blood sugar control, increasing the risk of diabetes complications, including kidney and heart disease, stroke, and eye damage. The use of point-of-care A1c testing is an effective monitoring tool for patients with diabetes, improving care and removing a wait for lab results following an appointment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our preliminary data, patients receiving care at our sites with in-clinic A1c testing have, on average, better control rates, compared to patients at our other sites,\u201d said Dr. Nichola Davis, Assistant Vice President, Population Health, NYC Health + Hospitals, who noted 66 percent of patients in these sites with in-clinic testing had A1c under control, compared to 62.5 percent of patients in other sites. \u201cThese preliminary results make sense. When patients know their diabetes numbers, they can better manage their blood sugar, and their risk of complications decreases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doctors underscore the importance of eliminating delays associated with testing. Traditionally, patients have visited their doctor and had blood taken for testing, but the results took 1-2 days and patients sometimes needed another appointment to have the results discussed and to go over modifications for the plan of care. With in-clinic testing, that hurdle is removed. In addition, the immediacy of testing, results, and feedback\u2014all in a single visit\u2014may help patients better absorb information and understand its importance.<\/p>\n<p>The ten sites currently with in-clinic A1c testing are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bronx<\/strong><br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Jacobi<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Lincoln<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/North Central Bronx<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Gotham Health, Belvis<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Gotham Health, Morrisania<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooklyn<\/strong><br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Coney Island<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Gotham Health, East New York<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manhattan<\/strong><br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Harlem<br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Gotham Health, Sydenham<\/p>\n<p><strong>Queens<\/strong><br \/>\nNYC Health + Hospitals\/Elmhurst<\/p>\n<p>In-clinic A1c testing will be introduced to other sites in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>NYC Health + Hospitals offers expert diabetes care at all hospitals and neighborhood health centers.
