Population Health Management (PHM) shows promise for type 2 diabetes care. However, current initiatives often lack detailed risk stratification and cross-sector integration, limiting their full potential for population health improvement.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Diabetes Management
Background:
- Population Health Management (PHM) offers a framework for enhancing overall population health.
- Type 2 diabetes requires comprehensive strategies for long-term health improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review on the utilization and operationalization of PHM in type 2 diabetes care.
- To identify how PHM initiatives are implemented for type 2 diabetes populations.
Main Methods:
- Searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 2000 to September 2021.
- Included studies reporting self-reported PHM initiatives for type 2 diabetes.
- Analyzed eligible initiatives using a defined PHM analytical framework.
Main Results:
- Included 25 studies detailing 18 PHM initiatives for type 2 diabetes.
- Found significant variation in the operationalization of PHM steps across initiatives.
- Population identification, impact evaluation, and quality improvement were common; Triple Aim assessment and risk stratification were less detailed.
- Cross-sector integration, crucial for PHM, was infrequently practiced.
Conclusions:
- PHM operationalization in type 2 diabetes care is currently limited compared to theoretical frameworks.
- Enhanced risk stratification and greater cross-sector integration are needed for comprehensive, whole-person care.
- Further development of PHM strategies can lead to greater health improvements in type 2 diabetes populations.
