Integrating Diabetes Prevention Services into a Primary Care Practice
Information Uncover was established in Houston, TX over twenty years ago. We are a business consulting company specializing in strategic management. We help a primary care organization navigate the environment to resolve strategic issues, establish internal objectives, and integrate patient-centered, value-based, evidence-based processes into the organization. The processes we focus on are associated with diabetes prevention treatment services. Diabetes prevention often involves the treatment of prediabetes. One of the common treatment targets of prediabetes is overfat. We define overfat as excess, harmful body fat. Overfat includes obesity, overweight, and belly fat.
Prediabetes is a condition characterized by a blood glucose level that is higher than normal, but not high enough to be called diabetes. Emphasis on diabetes prevention should start when a person is diagnosed with prediabetes.
We focus on diabetes prevention to help an organization improve patient health and lower costs. We continually monitor research and investigate business opportunities associated with diabetes prevention. We can help a primary care organization make timely decisions concerning diabetes prevention services. And we can help the organization establish objectives and measurements for the processes that enable the organization to deliver the services.
We continually examine the healthcare environment to gain clinical and business insight pertinent to diabetes prevention. Examining the environment, especially an organization's external environment, to gain insight is often called environmental scanning and analysis. We use our analysis results to help identify actions an organization might take to seize opportunities and avoid threats.
In the past, we concentrated on the aerospace industry, the computer industry, the air bag industry, and the healthcare industry. Several years ago, we began applying our expertise exclusively to the diabetes prevention segment of the healthcare industry. We bring extensive strategic-information analysis and management experience to this healthcare industry segment.We, at Information Uncover, access and evaluate diabetes prevention information on an ongoing basis. We read extensively, participate in diabetes prevention related events, and talk with diabetes prevention experts. We perform these activities so that we can offer clients the best in diabetes prevention information analysis for strategy formulation, decision making, and issue resolution.
Here are some of the things we can do: We can help a primary care practice integrate diabetes prevention services into the practice. We can navigate the healthcare industry and help a practice make diabetes prevention related strategic decisions. We can work with an organization to determine which competitors, and other environmental forces, might affect the organization's success as it relates to diabetes prevention services.
In summary, we focus on diabetes prevention research and business issues. We help a primary care organization integrate diabetes prevention processes into the organization to deliver patient-centered, value-based, evidence-based services to patients. The processes can improve health outcomes, lower healthcare costs, and improve practice revenue.

For over twelve years, we have sponsored an overfat industry related blog. In the blog articles, we talk mostly about items associated with the diabetes prevention, prediabetes and overfat segments of the healthcare industry. The blog articles include clinical and business oriented topics. In the blog articles, we often highlight environmental issues or strategic or tactical actions that a primary care organization might consider in its strategic management.
The book, Business Intelligence Using Smart Techniques: Environmental Scanning Using Text Mining and Competitor Analysis Using Scenarios and Manual Simulation, Revised Edition, demonstrates some of our analysis methods. Excerpts from reviews of this book's first edition are shown on this site under the menu item, Book Information. Additional information about the book can be accessed by going to Amazon.com.
