Annual Performance Measures
The Oregon Diabetes Prevention and Control Program is pleased to provide this publication: The "2006 Progress Report" [pdf], in support of the Oregon Diabetes Coalition's Action Plan for Diabetes [pdf].
An Overview
The Oregon Diabetes Program has received funding from the Centers for Disease Control since 1994. Our goal is to reduce the burden of diabetes in Oregon through a public health approach, working in collaboration with partners in the public and private sectors.
Program activities focus both on the evolving health care infrastructure in Oregon and in community development. Our most innovative efforts to date have been in managed care.
Some examples of our efforts and results include:
-
Infrastructure. Help develop data systems and other infrastructure with managed care organizations and individual providers to improve the level of preventive care service delivery. Examples include a clinical record flow sheet and a prototype for using dummy CPT codes to collect service delivery data.
Financial/Technical Assistance. Provide funding and technical assistance to help local county health departments develop community-based assessment and planning projects. The projects support improved services to people with diabetes in their communities. Currently funded counties include Baker, Benton, Clatsop/Columbia, Coos, Curry, Deschutes/Crook/Jefferson, Douglas, Jackson, Linn, Lincoln, Union, and Washington.
Surveillance. Developed and implemented a statewide diabetes morbidity and mortality surveillance system for Oregon. Efforts are currently underway to examine the impact of diabetes among people enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (Public Health Medicaid Assessment Initiative).
Publications. Disseminated over 9000 copies of Measuring Quality of Care in Health Systems: Population-based Guidelines for Diabetes Mellitus. Developed in conjunction with a statewide advisory committee, these Guidelines have been adopted for use in all of Oregon's managed care organizations to guide quality improvement efforts for diabetes care.
Published Oregon's Action Plan for Diabetes (pdf). The Plan describes goals, objectives, and strategies for reducing the burden of diabetes in Oregon. The Plan targets four key audiences: the general public, people with diabetes, health care providers and insurers, and health care purchasers.
Published Diabetes in Oregon: An Assessment Report in March 1997, which includes information on the burden on diabetes in Oregon and an assessment of diabetes health care services, education resources and other issues related to diabetes in Oregon.
