Implementing Diabetic Foot Screening for Type 2 Diabetes Patients in an Outpatient Clinic
Kehinde Adedulu, Amanda Townsend, and Taye Oni
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) result from the loss of protective sensation, peripheral arterial disease, and foot deformities, making early identification essential in preventing severe complications (Lingyan et al., 2024). Research confirms that incorporating Inlow’s 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screening tool improves patient outcomes by identifying high-risk individuals (Bus et al., 2024). Educating healthcare providers on the benefits of this tool and promoting its use is critical for effective prevention (Lim et al., 2020). Inlow’s 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screen is a cost-effective, simple, and reliable tool widely validated across different settings (Al-Mohaithef et al., 2022). This DNP quality improvement project builds on existing evidence to enhance diabetic foot care, reduce complications, and improve screening practices in clinical settings.
