Episode overview
Host Cher Pastore speaks to guest, David Tulle who has worked for Dexcom for over 11 years, leading teams across the Central Plains, in the mid-south and US regions and is currently leading Dexcom’s hospital discharge program.
David’s focus is a new approach: integrating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems into hospital discharge plans for better diabetes management. The conversation covers how the adoption of CGM systems is transforming transitional care strategies from hospital to home and improving patient outcomes.
The second half of the discussion explores Dexcom's initiative to incorporate CGM into hospital discharge plans. David and Cher discuss how this program provides education and critical tools to newly diagnosed diabetes patients, potentially reducing readmission rates, and offering insight into how Dexcom's initiative could address the need for better disease management strategies post-discharge.
Finally, Cher and David discuss the collaborative benefits of this program, including how the integration of CGM into discharge planning can empower healthcare professionals to provide better care continuity. They look at why vulnerability in the healthcare system calls for the use of technologies like CGM and how Dexcom's strategy paves the way for a more holistic and technology-driven approach to diabetes management.
