RESUMO

Mounting evidence suggests that weight management and physical activity (PA) improve overall health and well being, and reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Although many opportunities exist to include weight management and PA in routine cancer care, several barriers remain. This review summarizes key topics addressed in a recent National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine workshop entitled, "Incorporating Weight Management and Physical Activity Throughout the Cancer Care Continuum." Discussions related to body weight and PA among cancer survivors included: 1) current knowledge and gaps related to health outcomes; 2) effective intervention approaches; 3) addressing the needs of diverse populations of cancer survivors; 4) opportunities and challenges of workforce, care coordination, and technologies for program implementation; 5) models of care; and 6) program coverage. While more discoveries are still needed for the provision of optimal weight-management and PA programs for cancer survivors, obesity and inactivity currently jeopardize their overall health and quality of life. Actionable future directions are presented for research; practice and policy changes required to assure the availability of effective, affordable, and feasible weight management; and PA services for all cancer survivors as a part of their routine cancer care.

RESUMO

This qualitative review of 57 published case reports aimed to analyze primary care and public health integration efforts in 45 states to summarize collaboration aims, participants, and systemic, organizational, and interactional success determinants. Chronic disease management, maternal and child health, and wellness and health promotion were the most commonly reported aims of collaboration between primary care and public health entities in the United States. Typical participants were government public health structures, health delivery systems, communities, academia, state professional medical associations, and employers and businesses. Systemic, organizational, and interactional determinants included adequate funding, multiple stakeholder engagement, leadership, data and information sharing, capitalization on collaborator resources, community engagement, steering committees, effective communication, regular meetings, shared mission, vision, and goals, previous positive relationships, collaborations, and partnerships. The present study contributes to the body of knowledge of when, where, and under what contextual circumstances collaboration and integration have been perceived as effective. Future research could extrapolate which determinants are more essential than others and focus on how systemic, organizational, and interactional factors are interrelated. To advance the practice of successful integration between primary care and public health entities, longitudinal research is needed to examine the degree of integration and sustainability.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery procedures increased from <20,000 annually in the early 1990s to >100,000 in 2003. The complications related to surgery have increased disproportionately, causing some payers to discontinue coverage for bariatric procedures and reducing patient access to an effective treatment modality. This report describes an alternative approach-the creation of a network of Centers of Excellence (COE) in Bariatric Surgery. METHODS: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina developed a COE program by working collaboratively with the bariatric surgery community. Through systematic review, the collaborative identified bariatric surgical programs that appropriately select patients, comprehensively evaluate and prepare patients for surgery, produce superior outcomes, and provide long-term follow-up for patients. RESULTS: Seven practices were selected as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Bariatric Surgery COE. The short-term results comparing the 12 months before COE implementation and the 12 months after implementation included a 14% decline in the number of bariatric procedures performed (693 versus 596), a 23% decrease in the number of surgeons billing for bariatric procedures (53 versus 41), a 30-day readmission rate of 4.7% for COE providers and 8.3% for non-COE providers, and an average inpatient length of stay of 2.5 days for COE providers and 3.0 days for non-COE providers. The proportion of procedures performed by the COE providers increased from 55% to 61%. CONCLUSION: The preliminary results are encouraging, with COE providers demonstrating reduced 30-day readmission rates and, surprisingly, overall reductions in the rate and number of procedures performed and the number of physicians performing them.

RESUMO

Improved patient experience, population health, and reduced cost of care for patients with obesity and other chronic diseases will not be achieved by clinical interventions alone. We offer here a new iteration of the Chronic Care Model that integrates clinical and community systems to address chronic diseases. Obesity contributes substantially to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Dietary and physical activity interventions will prevent, mitigate, and treat obesity and its related diseases. Challenges with the implementation of this model include provider training, the need to provide incentives for health systems to move beyond clinical care to link with community systems, and addressing the multiple elements necessary for integration within clinical care and with social systems. The Affordable Care Act, with its emphasis on prevention and new systems for care delivery, provides support for innovative strategies such as those proposed here.
