Oregon State Partners
Health Promotion
and Chronic Disease Prevention Program - Oregon
The purpose of the Health Promotion and Chronic
Disease Prevention Program (HPCDP) is to promote the health of Oregonians by
advancing policy and developing public health programs that prevent chronic
diseases from occurring, detect chronic diseases at the earliest stages when
they are most treatable, and prevent further complications.
The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Health Promotion and Chronic
Disease Prevention Program (HPCDP) includes nine program areas: arthritis;
asthma; breast and cervical cancer screening; statewide cancer registry;
comprehensive cancer control; diabetes; heart disease and stroke; physical
activity, nutrition and obesity; and tobacco control. All nine program areas are
supported by funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The tobacco control program is also funded with tobacco tax revenues designated
by Ballot Measure 44 passed by Oregon voters in 1996. At the current time, no
state general fund revenues support these programs.

United
States
American Chronic Pain Association
The American Chronic Pain Association was founded in 1980. The
ACPA's unique materials are a primary resource for individuals seeking to
improve the quality of their lives and for the professionals who help them.
Chronic Care Model
The Chronic Care Model identifies the essential elements of a health care system
that encourage high-quality chronic disease care. These elements are the
community, the health system, self-management support, delivery system design,
decision support and clinical information systems. The model can be applied to a
variety of chronic illnesses, health care settings and target populations. The
bottom line is healthier patients, more satisfied providers, and cost savings.
Chronic Disease Prevention - CDC
Chronic diseases—such as heart disease,
cancer, and diabetes—are the leading causes of death and disability in the
United States. These diseases account for 7 of every 10 deaths and affect the
quality of life of 90 million Americans. Although chronic diseases are among the
most common and costly health problems, they are also among the most
preventable. Adopting healthy behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, being
physically active, and avoiding tobacco use can prevent or control the
devastating effects of these diseases. Together, the center and its partners are
working to create a healthier nation.
Community Partnerships for
Older Americans
Community Partnerships for Older Adults is a national program of The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation that fosters community partnerships to improve long term care
and supportive services systems to meet the current and future needs of older
adults.
Dartmouth Atlas
of Health Care Project
The Dartmouth Atlas Project works to accurately describe
how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States. The project
offers comprehensive information and analysis about national, regional, and
local markets, as well as individual hospitals and their affiliated physicians,
in order to provide a basis for improving health and health systems.
Disease Management:
The New Tool for Cost Containment and Quality Care (report - .pdf)
Faced with tight fiscal constraints and soaring Medicaid budgets, states are
pursuing new strategies to reduce the cost of caring for patients with costly
chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (principally
heart disease and stroke), asthma, cancer, and diabetes, are among the most
prevalent, costly, and preventable of all health problems. “Disease management”
(DM) provides a strategy for states to improve patient health outcomes and limit
health care spending by identifying and monitoring high-risk populations;
helping patients and providers better adhere to proven interventions; engaging
patients in their own care management; and establishing more coordinated care
interventions and follow-up systems to prevent unnecessary health complications.
Future of
Long-Term Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities
As the aging demographics unfold, the financing of Oregon's nationally
recognized long-term care system will become a major challenge. Even with a
reasonable rate of growth in future Oregon revenues, the burgeoning number of
seniors and people with disabilities needing long-term care support could
overwhelm and outstrip Oregon's capacity to pay for needed services. It is
imperative that Oregon plan now for the future of its long-term care system.
Improving Chronic Illness Care
Improving Chronic Illness Care, a national
program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
is dedicated to the idea that United States health care can do better. The 133
million Americans who suffer from diabetes, depression and other chronic
conditions can lead healthier lives. Providers who care for chronically ill
patients can be better supported with guidelines, specialty expertise and
information systems. Overall health care costs can be lowered through better
care delivery. All this is possible, by transforming what is currently a
reactive health care system into one that keeps its patients as healthy as
possible through planning, proven strategies and management.
National Association of Chronic Disease
Directors
The Association of State and Territorial Chronic Disease Program Directors
(otherwise knows as “NACDD”) is a national public health association, founded in
1988 to link the chronic disease program directors of each state and U.S.
territory to provide a national forum for chronic disease prevention and control
efforts. .
Preventing Disability in
the Elderly With Chronic Disease
The population of disabled elderly in the United States is growing rapidly. The
number of Americans who will suffer functional disability due to arthritis,
stroke, diabetes, coronary artery disease, cancer, or cognitive impairment is
expected to increase at least 300 percent by 2049. Although people tend to
develop chronic conditions as they age, growing old does not have to mean
becoming disabled. Research sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) led to the development of the Chronic Disease Self-Management
Program (CDSMP), a patient self-management program that can help prevent or
delay disability even in patients with arthritis, heart disease, or
hypertension. These patients are taught how to better manage their symptoms,
adhere to medication regimens, and maintain functional ability. Additional
research funded by AHRQ has also shown that education and lifestyle changes can
reduce disability, control costs, and have a positive influence on the quality
of life of America's elderly.
Stanford Patient Education
Research Center
The Stanford Patient Education Research Center is part of the Department of
Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, located in Palo Alto,
California, U.S.A. Over the past 24 years, we have developed, tested, and
evaluated self-management programs for English and Spanish speakers with chronic
health problems. All of our programs are designed to help people gain
self-confidence in their ability to control their symptoms and how their health
problems affect their lives. Our small-group workshops are given in community
settings and on the Internet. They are facilitated by two leaders/moderators
with health problems of their own. The workshops are highly interactive,
focusing on building skills, sharing experiences, and support. Our main mission,
however, is research. We only develop and offer programs that we test for
effectiveness with randomized, controlled trials that are funded by research
grants and span two to five years. The aim of all of our programs is to improve
the physical and emotional health of participants while reducing health care
costs.

The Ontario Patient
Self-Management Network helps to coordinate patient self-management activities
and to provide momentum for this approach to be more widely accepted in Ontario
health care.
