Y-USA S STRATEGIC PLAN IMPROVING THE NATION S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Critical Social Issues Affecting Our Communities: High rates of chronic disease and obesity (child and adult) Needs associated with an aging population Health inequities among people of different backgrounds Our Shared Intent: To improve lifestyle health and health outcomes in the U.S., the Y will help lead the transformation of health and health care from a system largely focused on treatment of illnesses to a collaborative community approach that elevates well-being, prevention and health maintenance. Our Desired Outcomes: People achieve their personal health and well-being goals People reduce the common risk factors associated with chronic disease The healthy choice is the easy, accessible and affordable choice, especially in communities with the greatest health disparities Ys emphasize prevention for all people, whether they are healthy, at-risk or reclaiming their health Ys partner with the key stakeholders who influence health and well-being 13
EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS AND THE Y
REFERRAL PATTERNS AND RISK STRATIFICATION ACOs have the capacity to risk stratify the target population using clinical indicators and claims data Targeted high-risk beneficiaries should be referred to the appropriate primary or secondary prevention program YMCA evidence-based programs provide the capacity to implement preventive health strategies that are proven to drive improvement of clinical outcomes and reduction in overall healthcare expenditures 16

THE YMCA S DPP
THE STORY OF THE YMCA S DPP Chapter 1 1997-2002 Chapter 2 2005-2008 Chapter 3 2009-2010 Chapter 4 2010-2013 Chapter 5 2014-2017 Y not involved. NIH funded study. Indiana University School of Medicine works with the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis to successfully translate group based DPP at lower cost. YMCA of Greater Louisville validates in non-research environment. The Y could recruit participants. Became inaugural partner in the National Diabetes Prevention Program with CDC, and worked with TPA to create system to allow for any third party payors to reimburse the Y for outcomes. Y-USA launched scaling and dissemination plan with the long-term goal of ensuring the program is available to every Y who wants to sustainably offer it in their community. 19 YMCA's DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM OVERVIEW 2016 YMCA of the USA
YMCA S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM THE PROGRAM IS: Led by a trained Lifestyle Coach A one-year program: 19 sessions in the first 6 months, then 6 sessions in the second six months Open to all community members; YMCA membership is not required A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-approved curriculum PROGRAM QUALIFICATIONS: At least 18 years old, Overweight (BMI 25), and Prediabetes confirmed via one of 3 blood tests or previous diagnosis of gestational diabetes If no blood test, a qualifying score on a risk assessment PROGRAM GOALS: Reduce body weight by 5-7% Increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week 20 YMCA's DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM OVERVIEW 2016 YMCA of the USA

PROGRAM FEE In September of 2013, Ys voted to establish a national program fee for the YMCA s DPP. All participating Ys offer program at uniform price: $429 for the year-long program. Reduces price discrepancies for Ys in close proximity of each other and keeps program value consistent across all providers. Ys can sell directly to payors (flat fee/participant) through a direct payor partnership option. Ys can still provide scholarships or financial assistance to self-pay program participants. He is self-pay and He has the program in his insurance and the Y is paid based on his performance Payors interested in providing the program via a pay-forperformance to determine if he claims-based model Her employer can be is connected to the Y works with him TPA. will receive financial assistance or a scholarship paying the Y $429 directly, like a worksite wellness benefit 22 YMCA S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM 2015 YMCA of the USA

HALLMARKS OF EBHIS
ELEMENTS OF EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS THAT ARE ADOPTED BY Y-USA Practices and programs are based on peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate outcomes (not just outputs) Practices and programs are scalable Expectation (by participants, partners, funders, colleagues) of fidelity to program delivery methods Supported by national technical assistance for capacity building, fidelity, quality improvement, sustainability, etc. Ongoing data collection, reporting, and use in quality improvement 33 NATIONAL PROVIDER UPDATE FOR PROGRAM TEAMS 2017 YMCA of the USA
FIDELITY: PROGRAM DELIVERY If you ve seen one Y, you ve seen the Y Consistent delivery across program locations both within Ys and across Ys Outcomes are tied to the evidence Reimbursement is dependent upon the evidence, consistent delivery, and achievement of outcomes Sustainability is dependent upon reimbursement Program content is consistent; innovation happens in program operations 34 EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH INTERVENTIONS 2016 YMCA of the USA

OUTREACH AND RECRUITMENT Enrollment in the YMCA s Diabetes Prevention Program is often dependent on successful outreach and engagement strategies. Marketing campaigns most individuals may not be aware of their risk status. RAISING AWARENESS IS KEY! Physician referrals health care providers can be a crucial partner to help identify their patients who, upon screening, can be referred to the program. Screening events screening members and enrolling them immediately in the program through health fairs or special lunch and learns. 40 YMCA S CIH 2017 YMCA of the USA

Questions?
Group Discussion Questions for presenters? What other communities are working to promote DPP or DSMP or other similar programs? How might we address some of our challenges on scaling this? Getting more MCOs involved? Ensuring community-based capacity to provide to all those in need? Ensuring appropriate contracting/billing systems? Ensuring appropriate referral systems? Ensuring adequate support for Medicaid clients?
