Abstract

Addressing diabetes, prediabetes, and related health conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity are critical public health priorities for the United States, particularly West Virginia. Preventing chronic conditions through early identification of risk and intervention to reduce risk is essential. Primary care and community-based programs need a more connected informatics system by which they work in tandem to identify, refer, treat, and track target populations. This case study in quality improvement examines the effectiveness of national diabetes prevention programming in West Virginia via the West Virginia Health Connection initiative, which was designed to provide such an informatics structure. Cohort analysis reveals an average weight loss of 13.6 pounds-or 6.3 percent total body weight loss-per person. These changes represent decreased risk of diabetes incidence and increased healthcare savings. Lessons learned are applicable to other areas aiming to build and sustain a data-informed health analytics network.

西弗吉尼亚州信息学支持的糖尿病预防规划。

解决糖尿病、前驱糖尿病和相关健康状况，如高血压、高胆固醇、肥胖和缺乏体育活动，是美国，特别是西弗吉尼亚州的关键公共卫生优先事项。通过早期识别风险和干预以降低风险来预防慢性病是至关重要的。初级保健和以社区为基础的项目需要一个更紧密联系的信息系统，通过该系统，它们可以协同工作，以识别、转诊、治疗和跟踪目标人群。本关于质量改进的案例研究通过西弗吉尼亚州健康连接倡议考察了西弗吉尼亚州国家糖尿病预防规划的有效性，该倡议旨在提供这样一个信息结构。队列分析显示，平均每人体重减轻13.6磅，或体重减轻6.3%。这些变化意味着糖尿病发病率的降低和医疗费用的增加。吸取的经验教训适用于旨在建立和维持数据知情的卫生分析网络的其他领域。
