Implementation of management strategies for diabetes and hypertension using population-risk stratification, task-sharing, and IT tools is crucial for reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease.
Discusses strategies for managing diabetes and hypertension from local to global levels to reduce cardiovascular disease burden.
May support risk stratification and IT tools for diabetes/hypertension; leaves open optimal strategies to reduce CVD burden.
Diabetes and hypertension are chronic conditions that are growing in prevalence as major causal factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The need for chronic-illness surveillance, population-risk management, and successful treatment interventions are crucial for reducing the burden of future CVD. Addressing these problems will require population-risk stratification, task-sharing and -shifting, and community-as well as network-based care. Information technology tools also provide new opportunities for identifying those at risk and for implementing comprehensive approaches to achieving the goal of improved health locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. This article discusses ongoing efforts at one university health center in the implementation of management strategies for diabetes and hypertension at the local, regional, national, and global levels.
