China and SETMA:  Patient-Centered Medical Home and Diabetes

Dr Holly,

Thank you for the greeting! Paul shared a lot of your articles to me. I'm your big fan and developed a lot of your fans in China physician group.

I'll tell you they are surprised by SETMA's public report system (especially it's almost real time date). I can't describe how exciting they are when they look at this:

"The teaching-tool-for-PCMH-course-patient-care-activation-engagement" is so good, I even organized a team to make 3 times group study on this.

You are the best role model for PCMH. We deeply believe China need to follow the step and embark the PCMH journey. It's the best hope for the future of healthcare.

Especially thank you for sharing all of your experience on the website, I'm very hungry to absorb the experience (unfortunately I'm not physician background, but recently I picked up a lot of diabetes clinic knowledge, your article and EPM tools are very good teacher of me). Your transformation experience is extremely valuable for China's healthcare reform.

If you have interesting, I hope to find chance for you to visit China. There is a lot of your fans, we are expecting to listen your speech and get your guidance in the future.

Best Regards,
