NOMINATION GUIDANCE:

Please nominated two (2) initiatives/programs that:

• Are working to provide DSMES services to people with diabetes

• Have either full or pending ADA-recognition/ADCES-accreditation

• Are either new or established programs/sites, including affiliate and community sites

• Are offered at pharmacies but may not currently be ADA-recognized/ADCES-accredited
  
  

The unit of analysis for the rapid evaluation is the site. If your health department works with an organization or program offering CDC-recognized LCPs at multiple sites, please indicate a specific site to be included in the rapid evaluation. 

Consider selecting sites that have different characteristics, such as:

• Different delivery platforms -- In-person vs. combination

• Serve different population groups--focus on Medicaid population vs. focus on African American population

• Located in different geographic areas--urban vs. rural

• History of performance--strong performance vs. experienced many challenges 
  
  

Your nominations will be reviewed by a CDC panel to ensure sites meet the eligibility criteria. The Deloitte National Evaluation Team will send follow up communication to confirm the inclusion of your nominated sites or request additional clarifying information. 

The nomination form will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Nominations must be submitted no later than Month Day

Additional information about site participation in the rapid evaluation is available in the 1815 Site-Level Rapid Evaluation FAQs. Contact [email protected] if you have any questions about this nomination form or the rapid evaluations.
