title: New Web-based program gets patients primed for DM.
abstract: Recognizing that a large percentage of chronically ill patients are simply not ready or willing to make meaningful behavioral changes, Ann Arbor, MI-bases HealthMedia has developed a Web-based program aimed at getting these patients to the point where they can take full advantage of the benefits that traditional DM programs have to offer. It's an automated but personalized approach, and early results suggest it is making an impact.
