Implementation Support

Checklists: The checklist translates the Bree guidelines into action steps for that sector (i.e., clinician, health delivery site, public health, etc.). The action items have been arranged into levels 1, 2, and 3 to correspond to the difficulty level of implementing the action into the sectors’ setting. Bree staff co-created the checklists with report workgroup members and topic experts.

Background

Approximately 582,000 people in Washington (9.7% of adults), have been diagnosed with diabetes, with an estimated cost of $6.7 billion each year. According to IHME data, diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death and impaired plasma glucose is the 3rd leading cause of death and disability in Washington. At the same time, Washington state performs below the NCQA 25th percentile for blood sugar testing for people with diabetes. Additionally, there are significant disparities in diabetes diagnosis and access to medication, with Black, Latinx/Hispanic, and AIAN having a higher prevalence of diabetes, and low socioeconomic status has been associated with a lower uptake of high-cost insulin.
