SOC 1: improving care & promoting health in populations Flashcards
What % of Americans are overweight? obese?
34% for each
Assessing social context includes:
- food insecurity
- housing stability
- financial barriers
- language barriers
- community resources to refer to
- referring to lay health professionals as available
Health inequalities are caused by:
economic
environmental
political
social conditions (where people live and work)
What is population health?
Health outcomes of group of individuals, including distribution of health outcomes within a group
What is the DPP? How often did it meet? What were the intervention groups? What were the targeted outcomes/behaviors? What did it find?
- Diabetes Prevention Program
- 1st 6 months- 16 meetings
- Metformin vs. placebo vs. lifestyle change group
- Lifestyle change group- 7% weight loss, 150 minutes PA/week, low kcal/low fat diet
- after 3 years, DPP lifestyle change group reduced change of T2DM by 58%
When is DPP covered by Medicare?
- Overweight or obese +
- lab test reflecting pre-DM w/in past 1 year
What is the DCCT trial?
What type of DM did it target?
What did it set out to accomplish?
What were the outcomes?
- Diabetes Control Complications Trial
- T1DM
- intense insulin regimen (3+ daily injections or pump) to achieve near euglycemia versus conventional tx
- intensive tx –> 3x higher hypo risk however it did not reduce QOL/function
- suggests intensive insulin tx reduces LT complications
What is the UKPDS?
What type of DM?
Set out to accomplish?
Outcomes?
- United Kingdom Prospective DM study
- T2
- effect of intense glycemic control on incidence of complications
- Fasting 100 versus 270 using meds/insulin and/or lifestyle, whatever needed
- Intense BG control reduced DM end points, especially microvascualr dx by 25% however did not reduce mortality
- any amount of BG improvement beneficial
Look AHEAD- what is it?
who were the participants?
what was the intervention?
outcomes?
- overweight T2DM participants
- aim for 7% BW loss, >/= 175 minutes/week of MIPA; intent to reduce CV
- 1st 6 months- 2 meal +1 snack replacement, 1 1:1 & 3 group sessions/month
- months 7-12- 1 meal replacement, 1 1:1 + 2 group/month
- year 2-4- 1 individual/month + 1 pone contact
- year 4-11- 1 1:1 month
- No significant changes found in CV morbidity and mortality
What are 3 ways to assess population health?
- Health outcomes (mortality, morbidity, health, functional status)
- Dz burden (incidence, prevalence)
- Behavioral/metabolic factors (exercise, diet, A1c)
Hierarcy to improve population health
policy level
system level
patient level
SDOH
Outside direct control of individual
must be addressed to improve health outcomes
What % of PWD met: HgbA1c goals BP goals LDL goals non-smoking all of the above
A1c- 70% BP- 70% LDL- 55% non-smoking- 85% all of the above- 20%
Who is least likely to meet tx targets?
YA
Women
Non-hispanic African Americans
Why is the current healthcare system ill equipped to handle DM?
- duplicates services
- lacks clinical information technology
- fragmented
- poorly designed to coordinate care
6 core elements to optimize care of PWD
- reactive –> proactive care
- SM support
- decision support
- pt registries
- community resources
- health systems
What are the impacts of the Chronic Care Model on CVD risk, microvascular complications, mortality, cost?
- CVD risk dec. by 55%
- Microvascular complications dec. by 10%
- mortality decreased by 65%
- saved 7,000 over 5 year period per person
Strategies for system level improvement
- track medication taking behavior
- use evidenced based guidelines
- use EHR
- empower and educate pts
- remove financial barriers (out of pocket cost for DM ed, eye exams, DM technology, necessary meds)
- community resources
- public policies
