Exploring Comprehensive Diabetes Prevention and Care in Oregon
March 16, 2016 - 8:00am to 9:30am

Presenters: Don Kain (OHSU), Tracy Carver (Acumentra) and Sarah Worthington (Deschutes County)
The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is an evidence based lifestyle change program that has demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk for transitioning from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes by 58%.  In order to meet the needs of the 86 million Americans with prediabetes we need all hands on deck!
To meet the needs of the 29 million Americans who have diabetes, Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) and the Stanford Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) are effective ways to help patients manage and cope with their chronic condition. This webinar will articulate how the National DPP, DSME and DSMP can be employed to improve the health of Oregonians at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, as well as those who have diabetes.
After this webinar participants will be able to:

  *   List the components and goals of the National Diabetes Prevention Program
  *   State the rationale for screening patients for prediabetes
  *   Differentiate between the DPP, Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) and the Stanford Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP)
  *   Describe the critical role that patient-centered primary care medical homes can play in referring high risk patients in Oregon to the National DPP, DSME and DSMP
