Impact on Youth

“No longer considered to be a condition of primarily adult onset, type 2 diabetes has become increasingly common among children aged 6-11 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years.”

“The increase in type 2 diabetes among children and adolescents has emerged in parallel with an alarming rise in the number of young people who have become overweight or obese.”

Integrated approach to a complex problem

The Council finds that the problem is complex and influenced by the structure and quality of Delaware’s health care

system, the presence and strength of our health policy

framework, the extent to which our environment supports health and healthy decisions, and each individual’s capacity

to engage in healthy behaviors.

Page 11: SANDRA G HASSINK, MD, FAAP CHAIR, GOVERNORS COUNCIL DIRECTOR NEMOURS OBESITY INITIATIVE A I DUPONT HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN WILMINGTON, DE Governors Council.

Building a healthier future, a life course app0roach

Goal is to make optimal health achievable for all Delawareans.

To realize this goal, we propose a path that encourages health at every step, that recognizes and rewards commitment to health at

all levels. From the individual to the community, from the

health care provider to the employer, from the business owner to the policy maker, we all have a stake in building a healthier future

Process: Overview of Concept Mapping Steps

© 2011 Concept Systems, Inc.

Idea Generation: Communities of interest and expertise were identified, and responded with brainstormed ideas

Structuring: Communities of interest and expertise sorted and rated the results of the idea development, authoring the structure and value domain of the issue

Representation: CSI computed the maps, pattern matches and “go zones,” and prepared them for interpretation

Interpretation and Use: Strategies and tactics for action will follow directly from the interpretation of the results. Pattern matches and go zones will help to build consensus on action.

Planning: Planners and key issue advisors developed a focus prompt and identified participants

Integrating Health Care Systems into Health Systems

By increasing access to integrated preventive, wellness and health care services—and making them more available in more places

—we will not only decrease the use of emergency facilities but we will be offering Delawareans the opportunity to get the help they need immediately to avoid long-term health problems.

By incorporating prevention into health care processes and by providing supportfor each patient—particularly those who are underserved, have special healthcare needs or mental health conditions

—every Delawarean will have the guidance and skills necessary to make choices that help prevent diseases.

By integrating healthcare, public health and community services -we will create a seamless system that supports health in Delaware.

Gathering data to understand how to achieve optimal results in both healthcare

quality and decision-making, - will help us learn the best approaches to help individuals and providers achieve healthy outcomes.

An integrated, evidence-based care approach - will ensure that each Delawarean knows what he or she should do to stay

healthy.
