Financing Novel Diabetes Prevention and Management Models
ACCESS Health
Background
India’s NCD burden continues to grow, necessitating innovative care delivery approaches to tackle the situation. Public private partnerships involving publicly financed private care delivery can be leveraged to address the issue. Evidence indicates that such models can reduce provider fragmentation, create incentives for quality, provide subsidies for targeted populations and high-impact interventions, and use technologies that expand access and improve quality.
About the Study
In the mixed health systems, where there is a lack of evidence of financial viability of large-scale diabetes prevention programs, we aim to identify existing PPP models to understand how they can operationalize current mixed health systems to reduce the health system costs over the long term. The objective of our study is to:
-
Identify existing PPP models for diabetes and other NCD management
-
To assess the cost of implementation of a diabetes prevention and management program through PPPs at community level
-
To identify the prospective payers for implementing such programs at scale
Methodology
A mixed methods approach involving- qualitative interviews with multiple stakeholders and quantitative survey data collected from diabetes prevention and control programs.
Intended Outcome
Devising a cost-effective PPP model for diabetes prevention and control at community level through an extensive study of existing and previous such partnerships, along with insights on their prospective financing avenues.
