Prevalent chronic diseases

Slide 3: Prevalent chronic diseases for the population your health system is serving

(List the most prevalent chronic diseases for the population your health system is serving, based on data from your organization or other relevant sources.)

Slide 4: Risks associated with the proliferation of chronic diseases

• Chronic diseases are a major public health problem. They are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States.
• Chronic diseases can also have a significant impact on the economy. They are estimated to cost the US economy over $3 trillion annually.
• Chronic diseases can also lead to social isolation and decreased quality of life.

Slide 5: How the population will access information and resources to prevent and manage chronic diseases

(Describe the different ways that the population your health system is serving can access information and resources to prevent and manage chronic diseases. This may include things like the following:)

• Primary care providers
• Public health websites
• Community health centers
• Worksite wellness programs
• Social media
• Patient portals

Slide 6: Chronic disease communication plan

• The goal of the chronic disease communication plan is to help patients with chronic diseases to pursue healthier choices and to use population health resources.
• The plan should be tailored to the specific needs of the population your health system is serving. It should also be culturally appropriate and accessible to all patients.

Here are some key elements of a chronic disease communication plan:

• Provide clear and concise information about chronic diseases, prevention, and management. This information should be available in multiple languages and formats.
• Empower patients to make informed decisions about their health. This includes providing them with information about their treatment options and the potential risks and benefits of each option.
• Promote self-management and lifestyle changes. This includes providing patients with resources and support to help them make healthy choices, such as nutrition counseling, exercise programs, and smoking cessation classes.
• Connect patients with other resources in the community. This may include things like support groups, social services, and financial assistance programs.

Slide 7: Intercultural empathy, community engagement, and understanding of the population

• It is important to ensure that all communication incorporates intercultural empathy, community engagement, and understanding of the population. This can be done by:
  • Working with community partners to develop and deliver communication materials.
  • Translating communication materials into multiple languages.
  • Using plain language and avoiding jargon.
  • Making communication materials visually appealing and accessible to people with disabilities.
  • Providing communication materials in a variety of formats, such as print, audio, and video.

Slide 8: Conclusion

By implementing a comprehensive chronic disease communication plan, your health system can help patients with chronic diseases to pursue healthier choices and to use population health resources. This will lead to improved health outcomes for individuals and for the population as a whole.

Speaker notes

On each slide, provide detailed speaker notes that explain the content of the slide and how it relates to the relationship between disease management and population health. For example, on the slide about the prevalent chronic diseases for the population your health system is serving, you could discuss how these diseases are impacting the population and how PHM and disease management programs can help to address them.

Here are some additional speaker notes for the slide about the chronic disease communication plan:

• The chronic disease communication plan should be tailored to the specific needs of the population your health system is serving. This means considering the following factors:
  • The most prevalent chronic diseases in the population
  • The cultural and linguistic diversity of the population
  • The access to healthcare and other resources in the community
• The chronic disease communication plan should also be culturally appropriate and accessible to all patients. This means:
  • Using plain language and avoiding jargon
  • Translating communication materials into multiple languages
  • Making communication materials visually appealing and accessible to people with disabilities
  • Providing communication materials in a variety of formats, such as print, audio, and video
• The chronic disease communication plan should be evaluated and updated regularly to ensure that it is meeting the needs of the population.

Slide 2: Introduction

• Population health management (PHM) is a strategic approach to healthcare that focuses on improving the health of an entire population, rather than simply treating individual patients.
• Disease management is a clinical approach to healthcare that focuses on helping patients with chronic diseases to manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
• PHM and disease management are closely related. PHM programs can help to identify and address the root causes of chronic diseases, while disease management programs can help to prevent and manage chronic diseases in individuals.
