PPHF2012: Chronic disease Inovation Grants financed soley by 2012 Public Prevention Health Funds
The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is a public-private partnership of community organizations, private insurers, employers, health care organizations, and government agencies working to deliver the type 2 diabetes prevention lifestyle change program.
It is an innovative example of linking the community and clinical sectors to cost-effectively improve health outcomes.
The National DPP is focused on aligning incentives since third-party payers reimburse for health outcomes.
Economic studies indicate that lifestyle change programs (costing about $400 per person) are cost effective and even cost saving by reducing the cost of treating diabetes and its complications prevented by the program.
These favorable costs are the result of employing a lower cost workforce, delivering the program in groups, and consistency in program content.
The award recipients will be expected to develop, implement, market, and evaluate a comprehensive plan for scaling the National DPP lifestyle change program in select communities.
The awardees will identify and engage organizations and/or employers that have capacity to offer the National DPP lifestyle change program and facilitate the establishment of the National DPP lifestyle change program, in collaboration with these organizations and/or employers.
Awardees will also work with insurance companies to reimburse organizations offering the National DPP lifestyle change program through this cooperative agreement and work with employers and insurers to offer the National DPP lifestyle change program using pay for performance model.
Also, they may work with employers to offer the National DPP lifestyle change program as a covered benefit for employees.
The awardees will be expected to develop, implement and evaluate marketing and communications strategies to promote the National DPP lifestyle change program, educate health care providers about the program and encourage provider referrals to National DPP lifestyle change programs.
The Department of Health and Human Services is the Federal government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially to those who are least able to help themselves.
