Abstract:
Diabetes is a manageable chronic condition that contributes significantly to the global health burden of diseases and mandates a global collective effort to create an effective solution. This paper describes a community diabetes care pathway built upon a Strengths-Oriented Global Health Informatics Framework and an interdisciplinary standardized terminology, the Omaha System, along with a related translational process to disseminate best practices in diabetes care in China. This project demonstrates a novel strengths-oriented collaborative approach to disseminate best practices of diabetes management in global health communities and offers a potential to bring person-centered coordinated care to multi-levels of engagement that generate actionable and measurable results. Such collaboration opens a continued dialogue in the discourse for constructing global health informatics principles and practice to reduce the burden of diseases around the world.
