diabetesedcenter1.jpgThe Patient and Family Resource Center (PRFC) and the Diabetes Education Center sponsored a table at the annual Employee Recognition Festival on December 17, 2008.  The table showcased the collaboration of the Library and the Diabetes Education Center who, in addition to sharing a physical space, support each other’s education mission. A special project where the Library IT Department installed glucose monitoring software on PFRC computers for diabetes patients to upload and print out data for their appointments was featured. This project illustrates how the Department of Nursing and the Library partner together to mutually enhance good patient care and patient satisfaction.
