The National Clinical Care Commission report to Congress: background, methods, and foundational recommendations.
This AHRQ-authored paper describes the background, methods, and recommendations of the National Clinical Care Commission (NCCC) focused on factors likely to improve the delivery of high-quality care to all people with diabetes. It is the first in a series of five articles describing the recommendations. The Commission made recommendations at all levels: patient, practice, health system, and health policy. This is the first paper in a series of five articles about the NCCC recommendations. The five articles include recommendations to 1) reduce diabetes-related risks, prevent type 2 diabetes, and avert diabetes complications through changes in federal policies and programs affecting the general population; 2) prevent type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals through targeted lifestyle and medication interventions; and 3) improve the treatment of diabetes and its complications to improve the health outcomes of people with diabetes. This first article reviews the successes and limitations of previous federal efforts to combat diabetes, describes the establishment of and charge to the NCCC, and discusses the development of a hybrid conceptual model that guided the NCCC’s novel all-of-government approach to address diabetes as a societal and medical problem. The authors then review the procedures used by the NCCC to gather information from federal agencies, stakeholders, key informants, and the public and to conduct literature reviews. Finally, they review the NCCC's three foundational recommendations: 1) improve the coordination of non-health-related and health-related federal agencies to address the social and environmental conditions that are accelerating the diabetes epidemic; 2) ensure that all Americans at risk for and with diabetes have health insurance and access to health care; and 3) ensure that all federal policies and programs promote health equity in diabetes.
