Abstract:
The rising rate of diabetes worldwide has in recent years spurred a number of innovative prevention and treatment programs focused on community-based care and information technology. Scaling up these interventions has proved difficult, however. Based on case studies conducted in the United States, Mexico, and India, researchers identified financial, organizational, and regulatory barriers to broader adoption that program leaders and policymakers are struggling to address. The authors believe a combination of new funding approaches, institutional reforms, and performance measures are necessary to spread effective advances in care and reduce the burden of diabetes and other chronic diseases.
