This article describes and evaluates a multipronged strategy to expand use of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) services across a large academic health system. Strategies included streamlining referral processes, embedding diabetes educators in primary care, leveraging consistent leadership messaging, and building partnerships with community organizations. These interventions led to substantial increases in referrals, with 10.8% of 4,397 patients enrolling in DPP and 35.9% of 10,210 enrolling in DSMES. Coordinated, multilevel interventions can effectively increase engagement in these underutilized, evidence-based diabetes care programs.
