Background

The world’s largest diabetic epidemic is in China, where more than 110 million people have been
diagnosed with diabetes. China faces the daunting task of treating and managing the disease in a
fragmented health care delivery system that is stifled by an elementary primary care system, uneven distribution of healthcare resources, and multiple challenging social factors such as poverty, work stress, and unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Frontline healthcare providers need a more integrated and coordinated health system that strengthens primary care, fosters close collaboration between hospitals and the local community, and focuses on proactive health and preventative medicine for better disease management and patient behavior change rather than reactive medicine.

The Diabetes Prevention and Treatment Workshop provides participants with the insiders’ perspective of diabetes management experience from top U.S. health care providers, public health and policy researchers from Harvard Medical School and affiliated hospitals. The program introduces some of the advanced treatment and care models as well as innovative approaches that have been proven to be successful in managing diabetes and related chronic diseases. Participants are expected to learn how U.S. insurance companies, health care providers, startups and communities work together to increased quality of care while controlling costs. Application of innovations and cutting-edge advances in science and technology in chronic disease management will also be covered in this program.
