Shlay, MD, MSPH Denver Public Health Original Project 2007-2009 • Objective of study: To determine whether enhanced counseling, and using patient navigators to counsel patients on CVD riskreduction strategies and facilitate patient access to community-based lifestyle-change services reduced CVD risk among at-risk patients in a low-income population • Conducted by Denver Public Health; funded through a state CVD prevention grant Shlay et al. Prev Chronic Dis 2011;8(6):A143 Method • Compared clinical characteristics at baseline and 12-month follow-up for 340 intervention and 340 comparison patients • All patients had FRS >10% at baseline • Intervention: patient-centered counseling by bilingual patient navigators – One hour counseling session at baseline, plus followup calls at 1-4 weeks and 6-10 weeks; additional calls made within 6 months of enrollment • Assessed health behaviors of intervention participants at baseline and 12-month follow-up Results • At follow-up, clinical differences identified between intervention and control group – Change in mean FRS (baseline to follow-up): intervention 15.5% to 14.8% vs. control 15.0% to 15.8% – At goal (FRS <10%): intervention 11.8% vs. control 3.5% – Total cholesterol: intervention 183mg/dL vs. control 197mg/dL • Intervention group reported significant improvements in some health behaviors at 12month follow-up – Nutrition-related behaviors improved – Tobacco use and cessation attempts did not change Conclusions • Using patient navigators to provide individualized counseling, assist in goal setting, and link to community resources seemed to help intervention participants achieve positive behavioral changes and improve several clinical outcomes • Simple intervention for enhancing traditional clinical CVD risk-reduction services • Large scale programming and evaluations needed Ongoing CVD Prevention Work using Patient Navigators and Coordinated Care in Colorado Denver’s Community Transformation Grant Cardiovascular disease Reduction: A Focused Transformation (CRAFT) Funded for 2011-2016 Denver CTG Partners by Program Area Smoke Free Living Healthy Eating Active Living Clinical Preventive Services Healthy & Safe Environment • Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution (GASP) • Denver Housing Authority (DHA) • Denver Environmental Health (DEH) • Denver Public Schools (DPS) • Denver Health & Hospital Authority Community Health Services (CHS) • Kaiser Permanente • Colorado Alliance for Health Equity and Practice (CAHEP) • EMC • The Trust for Public Land (TPL) • Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR) Denver CRAFT (Cardiovascular disease Reduction: A Focused Transformation) Denver Cardiovascular Disease Registry Improved public health surveillance Patient Navigation Services Public Health Detailing Increased retention in care of patients diagnosed with HTN Improved quality of care provided by clinic physicians on CVD ↑ in clinic control of HTN patients in safety net clinics in Denver Program Goal Improve cardiovascular health of adults in Colorado communities 2009-2016 Current CHHS Communities CHHS Numbers CHHS by the Numbers Among the 1,200 participants with elevated risk factors retested at 12 months, decreases seen in a number of risk factors Baseline levels for atrisk population Change in risk factor Baseline levels for those with abnormal risk factor Change in risk factor Total cholesterol 215mg/dL ↓ 15 240mg/dL ↓ 24 LDL cholesterol 139mg/dL ↓ 18 164mg/dL ↓ 30 Systolic Blood Pressure 131mmHg ↓4 155mmHg ↓ 18 11.3 ↓ 0.8 20.8 ↓ 2.4 Framingham Risk Score Improvements in Framingham Risk Scores Claudia Siegel PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Philadelphia and Heart Health: Common Goals with Million Hearts Cardiovascular Disease Mortality, United States and Philadelphia, 2000 - 2010 Age-Adjusted Rate per 100,000 Population 450 400 Philadelphia 350 300 U.S. 250 200 150 100 50 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Based on data from Centers for Disease Control and Philadelphia Department of Public Health Adult Hypertension in Philadelphia, 2000 - 2012 Source: PHMC Household Health Survey, 2000-2012 Philadelphia’s Challenges • Health care environment dominated by larger players, intense competition, and fragmented health information sources • Multiple factors in the mix – 5 academic health centers, each with its own health system, clinics, hospitals, and EHR systems – Several large insurers dominate the market – Medicaid population under managed care and split among 5 different companies that provide services (under contract with the state Department of Public Welfare) – Uninsured, many of whom find care at the city’s 30+ federally qualified health centers – Substantial lifestyle and environmental challenges, health disparities EHR, Electronic health record Impact Pyramid Factors that Affect Health Smallest impact Counseling and Education Health care services Clinical Interventions Potential common ground Public health Long-lasting Protective Interventions Changing the Context to make individual’s default decisions healthier Largest impact Frieden TR.
