National Diabetes Prevention Program Two organizations with master trainers Oregon Health & Science University Schnitzer Diabetes Health Center YMCA of Marion/Polk County (Salem) A dozen other organizations with trained leaders Moda Health (Eastern OR Coordinated Care Org) grant
Policy Implementation Milestones Oregon Health Authority formed (1/10) Consolidated health-related functions: public health, public employee benefits boards, Medicaid Medicaid program becomes a champion (7/10) Disease Management Coordinator attends national CDSMP ARRA grantee conference Employee benefits boards offer free Weight Watchers benefit (2010)
Policy Implementation Milestones Medicaid Health Evidence Review Commission review (2/11) Initially approved as a Medicaid benefit Decision rescinded due to budget concerns re: FQHC encounter billing rates Attracted decision makers attention, enhanced political will for policy change
Policy Implementation Milestones State employee benefits boards (PEBB & OEBB) invite presentations on CDSMP (2/11) PEBB & OEBB promote CDSMP and BCBH to early retirees (winter/spring 2011) Limited participation Enthusiastic response & feedback to boards
Policy Implementation Milestones Health Engagement Model implementation (2011) Wellness program: HRA and 2 qualified activities per year 2011/2012 State employee BRFSS improvements Reduced obesity rate Increased fruit/veg consumption Trend toward decreased dx of cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes
Policy Implementation Milestones PEBB/OEBB promote CDSMP & BCBH as Health Engagement Model approved activities (2012) Count toward two required annual health actions PEBB/OEBB approve CDSMP and NDPP as benefits (2013) Available at no cost to all members Implementation delayed due to contracting issues BCBH will be offered as a 2015 benefit
Enabling Factors Sufficient/growing delivery infrastructure Champions Evidence base Documented burden & cost savings potential Anticipated system for contracting & billing (Self-Management Hub/Alliance)
Implementation Challenges Program delivery contracting issues Many licensed organizations have no billing capacity Lack of statewide contracting network creates administrative barrier for health plans Time constraints HEM implementation politics Inability to measure policy impact HEM qualifying activities are self-tracked
Oregon s Current Self-Management Delivery & Financing Structure Oregon Living Well Network Program Delivery Organizations Public Health & State Unit on Aging Coordinate training & TA Collect/reports data Advocate for policy change (insurance coverage) Coordinate network????? Purchasers
Additional Lessons Learned It takes time work for incremental change Contracting & billing infrastructure is crucial Local data (participation, outcomes) useful/preferable
Next Steps Address the need for program delivery contracting networks Establish billing infrastructure Continue evaluation
