The investigators' study focuses on improving the care of diabetes, a complex chronic illness, by providing important insights into interprofessional training and its potential role in fostering the necessary interdisciplinary management needed for chronic conditions and in addressing the gap between best practice and actual care provided.
The complexity of diabetes management challenges the acute care-oriented healthcare system. Some experts suggest part of the problem is that the healthcare system fosters a separate silos decision making model. While there is increasing recognition that quality diabetes care is best provided in an interdisciplinary manner, interprofessional training models are limited, as is understanding of the links between interprofessional training, actual practice, and patient outcomes. Advancing our understanding of interprofessional training models is critical because most of the complications associated with diabetes (e.g., amputations, renal failure, strokes) can be prevented or delayed with proper management. The investigators' objective is to better understand the processes and mechanisms by which interprofessional training impacts on chronic care management (practice patterns) and the ways it translates into improved patient outcomes.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | No Intervention | Control sites will receive the baseline measures pre and post. These sites will receive traditional diabetes education, which includes teleconsultation. | |
| ReSPECT Intervention | Experimental | Intervention sites will receive baseline measures pre and post, but also in-depth Shared Medical Appointments (SMA)(The Role modeling in Shared medical appointments to Promote Establishing Collaborative Teams (ReSPECT) intervention) and at 15 months SMA video conferences. At the end of the 18 months the randomly selected patients and providers will be asked to take part in a qualitative interview. |

| Role modeling in Shared medical appointments to Promote Establishing Collaborative Teams (ReSPECT) | Behavioral | The intervention is designed to educate the clinicians at intervention CBOCs by modeling interprofessional team practices during SMAs for diabetes mellitus (DM) patients from each CBOC primary care provider's (PCP) patient panel. We hypothesize that this education at intervention CBOCs will improve interprofessional practices and overall quality care delivered to veterans. |

| Attitudes Toward Healthcare Teams Scale and Subscales | A validated scale developed to assess attitudes towards teams in a healthcare setting with three subscales to assess attitudes toward team value, attitudes toward team efficiency, and attitudes towards physician's shared role on a team. Each of the 21 items is rated 1 to 6, ranging from 'Strongly Disagree' to 'Strongly Agree'. The scale was considered 'complete' for analysis among providers who answered at least 7 of the 21 items. Items were reverse-coded as specified in the subscale development publication. Averages across completed items were calculated within provider. Higher values corresponded with more positive attitudes towards teams. |

Cleveland and Cincinnati CBOCs (excluding Georgetown; n = 18 CBOCs) were the study sites randomized to the two study arms. Providers within site were subject to the intervention to which the site was randomized and the questionnaire responses were collected at the provider level.
