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.
Coalition to
Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis
DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in
a deep vein, usually in the lower limbs. A complication of DVT, pulmonary
embolism, can occur when a fragment of a blood clot breaks loose from the wall
of the vein and migrates to the lungs, where it blocks a pulmonary artery or one
of its branches. If you have restricted mobility (off your feet for an
extended period of time) due to cancer or certain heart or respiratory diseases,
talk to your doctor or
click here for more details on DVT risk factors.
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.
Finding Our Way -- Living With Dying in
America
More and more Americans are looking for better ways to face the emotional and
practical realities of serious illness and dying. They are seeking ways to
balance high-tech medical interventions with comfort and compassionate care, and
to achieve a sense of dignity and meaning at the end of life. Finding Our Way:
Living With Dying in America presents the real-life experiences of Americans who
have courageously struggled to find their personal answers to some of life's
toughest questions. Finding Our Way is a short course on death and dying in
America today. These topics can't be avoided by any of us. The practical advice,
resources, and personal stories in Finding Our Way can teach how to approach
these most significant life events with the same kind of planning and emotional
preparedness we strive for in the rest of our lives.
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.
International Council On Active Aging
International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) was founded in the belief that
unifying the efforts of the organizations focused on older adults benefits both
the people they reach and the organizations themselves. Whether retirement
community, seniors center or fitness club, all ICAA members share a common
interest in reaching older adults with active-aging messages, facilities,
programs and guidance. The ICAA supports these professionals and organizations
with education, information, resources and tools so they can achieve optimal
success with this market.
Live Well, Live Long
The American Society on Aging has created strategies and materials to enhance
the capacity of national, state and local organizations in serving the health
promotion and disease prevention needs of older adults. The strategies provide
tools for professionals, in stand-alone modules, available free on the Internet.
Each module is designed for use by professionals to complement existing health
promotion programs.
Living With Childhood
Illness and Disability
The Center focuses on improving care for
children with special needs by providing information to families and health care
professionals throughout Washington State. The Center does not provide direct
care or coordinate care. However, the Center collaborates with a variety of
health care organizations, state agencies, families, and health care providers
to plan and implement demonstration grants and contract projects that improve
care and increase access to health education materials and community resources.

Physician's Guide to Nutrition in Chronic Disease Management for
Adults (report - .pdf)
Older people have special nutritional
needs due to age and disease processes. Public interest in food and nutrition
information is at an all time high. The medical community must respond with a
scientific basis for the nutrition therapies they prescribe. These materials are
a concise, brief source of disease-specific nutrition information for physicians
caring for older individuals.
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.
Selected Evidence
for Behavioral Approaches to Chronic Disease Management
in Clinical Settings: Depression (report - .pdf)
Nearly half of the nation’s premature deaths from the 10 leading causes of
mortality are attributable to controllable behavioral factors such as unhealthy
diet, lack of exercise, tobacco use, alcohol and drug abuse, and risky sexual
practices. Behavioral health risks are also associated with higher ambulatory
care and hospitalization costs — accounting for as much as 70 percent of all
medical care spending.
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.
Teaching/Training Modules on Trends in
Health and Aging

behaviors, health status, health care utilization, functional status and
disability, and health care expenditures of the United States aging population.
The modules are based on and illustrated with data from the
NCHS Data Warehouse on Trends in Health and Aging. The modules are designed
for use by teachers at the secondary, undergraduate and graduate levels for
courses in aging, sociology, demography, public health, medicine, and for
self-study by health and aging professionals.
Other Countries
Bandolier - UK
The first issue of Bandolier, an independent journal about evidence-based
healthcare, written by Oxford scientists, (RAM AND HJM) was printed in February
1994. It has appeared monthly ever since and has become the premier source of
evidence based healthcare information in the UK and worldwide for both
healthcare professionals and consumers.
Chronic Disease Self-Management - Australia
Australia’s health system is world class,
supporting universal and affordable access to high quality medical,
pharmaceutical and hospital services, while helping people to stay healthy
through health promotion and disease prevention activities.
Chronic Disease Management -
Canada
Chronic diseases are prolonged conditions that
often do not improve and are rarely cured completely. Diabetes, depression,
congestive heart failure, hepatitis and asthma are examples of chronic diseases.
Approximately 500,000 people in British Columbia suffer from one or more chronic
diseases. Chronic illness has a profound effect on the physical, emotional and
mental well-being of individuals, often making it difficult to carry on with
daily routines and relationships. However, in many cases, deterioration in
health can be minimized by good care. This often depends upon individual choices
made on a daily basis. Chronic disease management (CDM) is a systematic approach
to improving health care for people with chronic disease. Health care can be
delivered more effectively and efficiently if patients with chronic diseases
take an active role in their own care and providers are supported with the
necessary resources and expertise to better assist their patients in managing
their illness.
Chronic Disease
Self-Management - England
Three factors - an aging
population, an increase in chronic disease and co-morbidity, and new concepts
about aging - plus a lack of health education programs appropriate for persons
with multiple chronic conditions served as the impetus for a Chronic Disease
Self-Management Program. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program originated
from Stanford University in California, US where self-management programs for
people with chronic health problems have been developed, tested and evaluated
over the last 20 years at the Stanford Patient Education Research Center.
