Type 2 Diabetes
[link removed]
An estimated 37.3 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, an increase of
more than 40 percent from a decade ago.
The July 2022 issue of Health Affairs, to be published next week, is
devoted to papers discussing how we can prevent and improve care and
outcomes for type 2 diabetes.
In one paper, Mohammed Ali and coauthors argue that fragmentation in
insurance coverage, payment, and delivery
have all contributed to poor diabetes outcomes in the United States.
Despite a strong base of evidence supporting care management activities
designed to assist patients
,
Thomas Bodenheimer and Rachel Willard-Grace note significant barriers to
wider use of these programs in primary care.
David Jiang and coauthors propose the adoption of new quality measures
and modernization of existing ones, arguing for alignment of measures
with the six domains of quality as defined by the National Academy of
Medicine.
Leonard Egede and coauthors conduct a systematic review of studies of
nonmedical interventions for diabetes
and find that "interventions with targeted, multicomponent designs
that combine both medical and nonmedical approaches" can improve
outcomes.
Maria Alva and coauthors analyze national survey data and determine that
13.5 percent of the population has prediabetes
,
representing a 4.8 percentage point increase between 2010 and 2020.
Sabrina Wang and coauthors analyze alternative payment models for
diabetes care
and
conclude that "the fragmented US health care system, with its myriad
payers and payment models, is structurally at odds with the need for
care continuity for chronic conditions such as diabetes."
