NDPP is a result of a major clinical research study designed to test whether lifestyle changes (diet and physical activity) could prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes.
National Diabetes Prevention ProgramHannah Herold
• 1 in 5 adults could have type 2 diabetes by 2025
• In 2013, diabetes as a primary or secondary diagnosis cost the state of Wyoming $232,825,610 in inpatient costs alone
• Participation in an NDPP resulted in Medicare cost savings of $2,650 per patient compared to control beneficiaries

Mountain-Pacific Quality Health DEEP (Diabetes Empowerment Education Program)™
Brandi Wahlen, Diabetes Project Manager
• Mountain-Pacific has provided the DEEP curriculum through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Everyone with Diabetes Counts initiative

● Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injury to Wyoming older adults 65 and older. Those 65 and older accounted for 75% of all fatal falls (2004-2016) and 68%
of non-fatal fall hospitalizations (2009-2015) though older adults represent less than 15% of the total Wyoming population.
● In 2015, non-fatal fall hospitalizations among Wyoming older adults cost an estimated $9,739,000 in combined lifetime work and medical loss costs.
● In addition to lifetime work and medical loss costs, fall injuries contribute to a decreased quality of life and a loss of independence among older adults.
● Though physical injuries remain a significant concern, many older adults who fall also develop a fear of falling. This fear of falling may cause them to limit daily
activities resulting in reduced independence, mobility, and physical fitness and an increased risk of falling again.
● In July of 2018 The Wyoming Department of Health’s Injury and Violence Prevention Program was awarded a three year grant by The Administration for
Community Living. This grant will run for three years and help us to not only expand on our current efforts in falls prevention but also allow us to bring a second
evidence based falls prevention program to Wyoming.
WDOH - Tai Chi/Matter of BalanceLindsay Martin
● The Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA) program was designed to target adults with or without arthritis who have a higher risk of falling.
● TCA is currently implemented in seven counties through partnership with the Aging Division and Public Health Nursing.
● Participants attend 16 one hour sessions once or twice per week conducted by a certified instructor.
● Some of the observed outcomes include: improved balance, increased muscular strength, improved mobility, increased flexibility, improved psychological health,
decreased pain, and reduction in fall risk.
● A Matter of Balance targets older adults in an 8-week structured group intervention that emphasizes practical strategies to both reduce the fear of falling and
increase activity levels.
● At the completion of the three year grant period we will have trained trainers in both a Matter of Balance as well as Tai Chi for Arthritis in all 23 counties in
Wyoming.
