Leading the Future: AI, Value-Based Care, and ADCES 2026
Do you have mixed feelings about Artificial Intelligence (AI)? In today’s rapidly shifting healthcare landscape, hesitation is completely natural. However, the practical potential of AI is proving hard to ignore. The potential to leverage AI to reduce healthcare providers’ administrative burdens, enhance precision medicine, and prioritize value-based care is incredibly promising. Who knows, AI might even serve as your future certification study tool.
In this issue, we tackle digital metrics, the application of AI in healthcare, and how diabetes care professionals can prepare for a changing future.
In our first article, nationally recognized expert, Marie Frazzitta, DNP, FNP, PMHNP, CDCES, MBA, explores the move toward value-based care, HEDIS, STAR ratings, and digital outcomes metrics. She details how diabetes specialists can step into leadership roles and be an active part of this transformation! Don’t miss her Free webinar on September 30th!

Next, Coach Bev considers how AI has the potential to reduce the level of overwhelm many clinicians feel so they can focus on what is most important – human connection. Our expert dietitian Christine Craig highlights the benefits of using AI from a nutrition professional’s perspective.
Lastly, our newest team member (and AI pro), Ashlie Sabourin, summarizes best practices and caveats for using AI as a diabetes certification study tool. Download our AI Cheat Sheet!
Finally, I am heading to Columbus, Ohio this Thursday for the national ADCES conference! I look forward to connecting with many of you there and bringing back fresh insights for our next newsletter and the upcoming San Diego Conference.

ENGAGING THE DISENGAGED
Strategies for Promoting Behavior Change in Diabetes
October 24, 2026
Transform how you engage patients with diabetes — master behavior change, reduce distress, and overcome medication hesitancy.
Why do so many patients know what they should do — but still struggle to do it?
The answer lies in the psychology of diabetes.
In this transformative full-day course, world-renowned experts William H. Polonsky, PhD, CDCES, and Susan Guzman, PhD, from the Behavioral Diabetes Institute reveal the hidden psychosocial forces that drive — or derail — diabetes self-management.
You’ll walk away with a completely new toolkit for breaking through patient resistance, dissolving medication hesitancy, and creating clinical encounters that actually inspire change!
