SDOH Points of Light 2024 Case Study 6
Deploying a Diabetes Prevention Program
More than one-third of adults in the US have prediabetes, but the vast majority are not aware. Identifying these individuals and helping them prevent the development of type 2 diabetes is a challenge, as many of the factors that influence their risk cannot be addressed within the walls of a hospital or clinic. The CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) supports a lifestyle change program that can help improve overall health and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% for adults over age 60). Yet enrolling and referring individuals, scaling and spreading the interventions, and reporting and analyzing program data can be difficult. The collaborators in this case study developed EHR automation to effectively identify patients at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, created bidirectional referral communication, and established mechanisms and pathways to connect patients with interventions.
