Tennessee Public Health Employee Diabetes Education

Program identifies and resolves the knowledge gaps of state health employees regarding diabetes. Specifically, public health care in Tennessee has in the past focused primarily on communicable diseases, instead of on chronic care generally and diabetes care specifically. Now that the Tennessee Department of Health is shifting focus to Primary Care, NCDP will use a chronic care model to develop and provide diabetes education to public health employees.

Employer-Focused Initiatives

NCDP has worked with employers and business groups to identify and develop employer strategies that encourage better diabetes management as well as test and demonstrate return-on-investment for employers who invest in this area. By convening leaders from the business community, NCDP has helped empower employers to address the impact diabetes on their health care costs.
