26 The Progression of Diabetes Type 1 Type 2 Healthy Healthy There are no known means of preventing type 1 diabetes, and no modifiable risk factors. Risk Factors Prediabetes Diabetes Diabetes Complications Complications Hospitalization Hospitalization Death Death 26

27 DEAR Identified 10 Goals A. Expand access to Diabetes Prevention Programs B. Increase access to physical activity/active living C. Increase access to healthy foods and beverages D. Get more people with diabetes into Diabetes Education E. Increase periodontal care for people with diabetes F. Better coordinate care for people with both diabetes and mental illness G. Expand access to Living Well programs H. Use Community Health Workers I. Get more stakeholders involved J. Improve availability of data 27

28 Ensure All Appropriate populations Have Access to the Diabetes Prevention Program Healthy Risk Factors Prediabetes Diabetes in Washington State Report recommends: Department of Health and the Health Care Authority develop a pilot project proposal to test enrollment of a subset of the Washington Apple Health population in the existing Diabetes Prevention Program. Develop a budgetary proposal to fund a sufficient sample population for the pilot, so the results can provide necessary financial and health outcome information to assess the impact on costs and return on investment. Use the results of this evaluation to inform future legislation and budgets for Apple Health policy. Statewide: All adults in Washington need access to DPP, whatever their source of insurance or insurance status. 28

29 Increase Access to Safe and Affordable All Active Living Report recommends: Promote the establishment, improvement, and use of indoor and outdoor spaces that are safe, tobacco free, accessible, and appropriate for play and physical activity. Maximize opportunities to safely be physically active in daily transportation such as by walking or biking to school or work, through community design and transportation planning. Increase active time in early learning sites and physical education in schools. Statewide: The Governor s Healthiest Next Generation Initiative has shone a spotlight on the issue of healthy weight among children. Physical activity opportunities need to be culturally relevant and include persons of all abilities in order for all populations to partake of them. 29

30 Increase Access to Healthy foods and All Beverages Report recommends: Ensure healthy foods and beverages, including water, are available in schools and early learning facilities. Include healthy eating concepts and language in municipal policies and tools such as comprehensive plans, zoning, ordinances, permits, and licensing rules. Promote affordable healthy food and beverage options in corner stores, including ensuring the ability to accept WIC/SNAP. Improve mechanisms for purchasing foods from farmers markets and farms, including ensuring the ability to accept WIC/SNAP and farm-to-institution programs. Statewide: For the many low-income residents of our state, access to affordable healthy foods is out of reach. 30

31 Ensure All People with Diabetes Receive Diabetes Complications Hospitalization Self-Management Education Report recommends: Require the Health Care Authority and the Department of Health to jointly develop a plan to increase appropriate use of the existing Diabetes Self-Management Education benefit in Apple Health and PEBB by October Statewide: Diabetes Self-Management Education provided by a trained Diabetes Educator is already included in most health benefits, however, it is underutilized. By working with private and public partners, such as managed care organizations, quality improvement organizations, diabetes educators, health systems, and health care providers, use of existing resources can be maximized to connect all people with diabetes in Washington to this guideline-based service. 31

32 Ensure People with Diabetes Have Access to Guideline-Based Oral Health Treatment Diabetes Complications Hospitalization Report recommends: Direct Apple Health to evaluate the expansion of treatment of periodontal disease among people with diabetes to align with the American Dental Association recommendations. Direct, and if needed, provide supplemental funding for, the Health Care Authority to analyze dental and medical data within the PEBB population, so that accurate estimates of potential costs savings can be calculated. Statewide: Apple Health enrollees need more access to dentists and oral health professionals. Health professionals and consumers need more information about the connections between oral health and diabetes. All residents of Washington with diabetes need adequate oral health care. 32

33 Enhance Care Coordination for People with Diabetes Complications Hospitalization Both Diabetes and Mental Illness Report recommends: Continue to support and enhance existing initiatives, such as the Health Home Program and those established in Senate Bill 6312 (2014). Continue to identify resources for co-located services and methods that lead to better care coordination for people who have a mental health diagnosis and diabetes. Support the Plan for a Healthier Washington s regionally responsive payment and delivery systems, which are driven by integrated purchasing of physical and behavioral health care. Support availability of evidence-based programs, such as diabetes self-management education and chronic disease self-management, to the population of people with both diabetes and a mental health diagnosis. 33

34 Ensure All Appropriate Populations Have Access to Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Diabetes Complications Hospitalization Report recommends: Develop a proposal to make Chronic Disease Self- Management Education programs available to all adults covered by Apple Health and PEBB. Remove barriers to coverage that are limiting the number of Apple Health and PEBB enrollees who are using currently available education programs. Statewide: All adults with chronic health conditions would benefit from these and other evidence-based education programs. Implementation of the Plan for a Healthier Washington should include consideration of how these programs could be funded and administered at the regional level. One possibility is regional funding structures in which all health plans could participate. 34

35 Ensure Involvement of Community Health Workers in Populations with the Greatest Needs Diabetes Complications Hospitalization Report recommends: Ensure that the services of Community Health Workers are included among the health services eligible for payment, regardless of which payment model is used. Use a combination of public health and health systems funding at a regional level, in alignment with the Plan for a Healthier Washington, to ensure that Community Health Workers are available where needed. Statewide: We need greater efforts to support community health workers overall. It is essential to not underfund community health workers and the organizations that employ them. Using community health workers to address diabetes prevention and management is one strategy that can be tailored for use in populations that are culturally and linguistically different from the dominant culture. 35

36 All Increase Stakeholder Involvement in Policymaking that Pertains to Diabetes Report recommends: Expand the Diabetes Network Leadership Team to include more stakeholders, including those representing youth and adults with type 1 diabetes. Ensure state agencies with ability to impact diabetes prevention and care, including Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dept. of Corrections, Dept. of Services for the Blind, Dept. of Early Learning, Dept. of Transportation, and others, are represented Ensure the Diabetes Network Leadership Team has an ongoing role in providing recommendations and data to further the goals identified in this report. Encourage private partners, such as researchers, nonprofit organizations, and health systems, to participate. 36

37 Support the Plan for a Healthier Washington s Investment in Analytics, Interoperability & Measurement All Report recommends: Increase participation of health care purchasers and payers in the All Payers Claims Database. Financially support efforts to develop and maintain population health data systems on diabetes risk behaviors, risk factors, care practices, morbidity, and mortality. Support enhancement of information exchange and extraction capacity for data to drive decisions and funding. Leverage and bridge to the Healthier Washington common performance measures set and other performance measurement strategies. Identify ways to ensure more consistent and accurate collection and coding of data so that differences among and between populations can be identified. 37

38 Diabetes Epidemic Calls Us to Action Nearly 2 million people in Washington are on the verge of diabetes, but most don t know it. Prevention works. Actions that support management, including selfmanagement, for diabetes keep the disease from progressing, and lower costs. 38
