Program Overview
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has demonstrated clear benefits in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes among individuals with gestational diabetes. Yet, adoption remains limited across clinical settings—particularly in multidisciplinary and interprofessional care environments.

Many obstetric, endocrinology, and primary care teams lack standardized workflows, shared protocols, and clear communication pathways for integrating CGM data into routine prenatal care. In addition. nurses, diabetes educators, dietitians, and care coordinators often receive minimal training or lack access to CGM interpretation tools, limiting their ability to collaborate effectively in patient management.

Importantly, South Dakota Medicaid has taken steps to expand access to CGM and now includes CGM on formulary for use in gestational diabetes, creating a timely opportunity for clinicians and care teams to integrate CGM into routine prenatal care.

Join us to learn how to optimize CGM implementation, ensure equitable access across diverse populations, and translate technology-driven insights into coordinated, patient-centered care.

Key Reasons to Attend

• Learn practical strategies to collaborate with multidisciplinary and interprofessional care teams in supporting pregnant patients using CGM
• Build confidence in CGM implementation and interpretation in your practice
• Discover South Dakota Medicaid policies, eligibility criteria, and procedures related to CGM coverage in gestational diabetes
   

Project ECHO®, developed in 2003 by the University of New Mexico, is a virtual knowledge and best-practice-sharing model that connects expert multidisciplinary and interprofessional teams with community-based clinicians, often from rural or  underserved areas, through videoconferencing. Sessions include a didactic presentation and a learner presented deidentified case-based discussion, fostering peer-to-peer learning and mentorship. This “all teach, all learn” approach promotes continuous learning and collaboration, empowering clinicians to implement best practices and improve healthcare delivery in their communities, with long-lasting impacts that extend beyond traditional training methods.

This activity is supported by an educational grant from the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) through the CGM Access Accelerator, an initiative led by CHCS through support from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
