Background and Discussion:
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) at Harris County Public Health is a free lifestyle change program for individuals over the age of 18 with pre-diabetes within Harris County. 37 million Americans have diabetes (1 in 10), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 90-95% of cases are type 2 diabetes. The goal of the DPP is to make it easier for individuals with prediabetes to participate in affordable, high-quality lifestyle change programs to reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes and improve their overall health. Harris Health System is a community-focused academic healthcare system that is committed to improving the health of those most in need in Harris County through quality care delivery, coordination of care, and education. With this collaboration and partnership, the goal is to bridge the gap for Harris County community members to receive high quality, affordable education.
Expected Impact:
The impact of this initiative to refer Harris Health System patients to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) will include 1) increased coordination of care between clinical and community-based settings for pre-diabetes education; 2) increased accessibility to DPP services through the reduction of transportation barriers for at-risk patients; 3) meeting or exceeding DPP’s key performance indicators; and 4) increased dedication and attention towards delivering high-quality education and services.
Alternative Options:
Court could choose to not accept this agreement which may interrupt diabetes prevention services and education for residents at risk for type 2 diabetes.
