Description
Diabetes is a manageable chronic condition that contributes significantly to the global health burden of diseases and mandates a global collective effort to create an effective solution. This paper describes a community diabetes care pathway built upon a Strengths-Oriented Global Health Informatics Framework and an interdisciplinary standardized terminology, the Omaha System, along with a related translational process to disseminate best practices in diabetes care in China. This project demonstrates a novel strengths-oriented collaborative approach to disseminate best practices of diabetes management in global health communities and offers a potential to bring person-centered coordinated care to multi-levels of engagement that generate actionable and measurable results. Such collaboration opens a continued dialogue in the discourse for constructing global health informatics principles and practice to reduce the burden of diseases around the world.
Learning Objective: At the end of this activity, participants will be able to identify strengths data and incorporate such type of data in patient care planning, practice and evaluation in the community and in the global health setting.
