The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on reporting performance measures for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) DP23-0020. Performance measurement is a critical component of CDC’s strategy for monitoring and evaluating both program and recipient performance. The performance measures monitor progress towards short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes as a result of recipient efforts to implement evidence-based diabetes management and type 2 diabetes prevention and risk mitigation strategies. All recipients are required to collect and report on performance measures annually to clarify and describe what is occurring as a result of the implementation of NOFO strategies.
Performance measures in this document are organized by DP23-0020 Component A.
All 2320 recipients must document progress for all performance measures associated with 2320 strategies in their workplan. Each performance measure profile in this document lists the related strategies. Component A recipients will report on all short-term, intermediate, and
long-term performance measures. CDC will monitor and evaluate the following short-term, intermediate, and long-term performance measures 1.a, 5.1, 5.a, 6.a, 10.a, 10.b, 14, 15.
However, recipients may be required to provide contextual information for these performance measures in the measure and progress notes. Recipients should review the performance measure profiles for additional reporting guidance on what to measure, targets, etc.

Strategy A.8 |
Implement, spread, and sustain one of the following evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions (Family Healthy Weight Programs, FHWPs): |
Number of sites newly implementing family health weight programs (FHWPs) in the community. |
|
Measure Type |
|
AREAS |
DESCRIPTIONS |
Purpose |
The purpose of measure A.8.1 is to monitor the funded recipient’s efforts to increase the number of new sites where an evidence based FHWP is being implemented to increase FHWP access and availability for priority populations. Focusing on the number of sites aims to concentrate the strategy on enhancing access and availability of these programs. A family healthy weight program is a comprehensive, family-based lifestyle change program to help children with overweight or obesity make progress toward a healthier weight through positive behavior changes. Several national organizations, including the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Psychological Association, recommend family healthy weight programs to help treat childhood obesity. For example, AAP’s Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Obesity recommends that clinicians refer children 2 to 18 years old with overweight or obesity to family-based multicomponent behavioral interventions with a minimum of 26 contact hours. Despite these recommendations, most US children in need have not been able to access a family healthy weight program due to issues related to low program availability, high costs due to little or no insurance coverage, and the societal or cultural bias and stigma associated with weight. During the community assessment stage, recipients should identify and prioritize the populations in highest need of this intervention. |
|
To address the health disparities among priority populations, the purpose of this strategy is to reduce the many structural and psychosocial barriers that impact access to these programs. Barriers to participation include program cost and availability, no insurance coverage, school and work conflicts, transportation, childcare and other family obligations, in addition to the stigma and cultural attitudes attached to health care and weight. Barriers to implementation include cost, and insurance reimbursement, limited qualified staff, low funding, lack of space. In all stages of the intervention, the funding recipient should address the most common barriers impacting access to FHWPs that are relevant to that community setting. |

|
Certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES): a health care professional with expertise in diabetes care and education who has met eligibility requirements and successfully completed a certification exam.
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES): the ongoing process of facilitating the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis, beyond or outside of formal self-management training (Powers et al., 2020; Davis et al., 2022).
Diabetes self-management support (DSMS): the support that is required for implementing and sustaining coping skills and behaviors needed to self-manage diabetes on an ongoing basis (Powers et al., 2020).
Diabetes self-management training (DSMT): the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses the term “training” (DSMT) instead of “education and support” (DSMES) when defining the reimbursable benefit. This term relates specifically to Medicare billing.
Priority Populations: defined in the DP23-0020 notice of funding opportunity (2320 NOFO) as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations will be determined by the awardee.
Recognition and accreditation: processes that help ensure that DSMES services offer quality education. CMS has authorized two organizations, ADA and ADCES, to grant recognition or accreditation for DSMES. ADA uses the term recognition, while ADCES uses the term accreditation. The two terms involve similar processes to evaluate DSMES services. Both organizations rely on the 2022 National Standards for DSMES (Davis et al., 2022).
Self-care: the seven behaviors that persons with diabetes can use to manage their diabetes. They include healthy coping, healthy eating, being active, taking medicine, monitoring, problem solving, and lowering risks.
Umbrella DSMES ADA-recognized/ADCES-accredited service: a DSMES service where one agency serves as the sponsoring organization to secure ADA-recognition or ADCES-accreditation, managing all the certification requirements, while other agencies serve as multi-sites or branch sites to deliver DSMES services.
CDC DSMES Technical Assistance Guide: This tool identifies four key drivers that influence DSMES access and participation: 1) availability of DSMES services, 2) payers and payment mechanisms, 3) referral policies and practices, and 4) willingness of people with diabetes to participate in DSMES services.
DSMES CDC DSMES Toolkit: The purpose of this toolkit is to increase access to and participation in DSMES services among persons with diabetes. The toolkit provides available resources and tools in one place to assist with the development, promotion, implementation, and sustainability of DSMES services.
To learn more about removing barriers to DSMES services, refer to Increasing Referrals and Overcoming Barriers to Participation.
ADCES Diabetes Education Accreditation Program (DEAP): As one of the certifying organizations for DSMES, ADCES offers an accreditation process based on the 2022 National Standards for DSMES.
ADA Education Recognition Program (ERP): As one of the certifying organizations for DSMES, ADCES offers an accreditation process based on the 2022 National Standards for DSMES.
2022 National Standards for DSMES: The Standards define timely, evidence-based, quality DSMES services that meet or exceed the Medicare DSMT regulations and assist those providing or wishing to provide DSMES.
Diabetes State Burden Toolkit: Use this tool to determine the health, economic, and mortality burden of diabetes in your state.
DSMES Consensus Report: This report describes the benefits of DSMES, defines four critical times to provide and modify DSMES, proposes how to locate DSMES-related resources, and discusses potential solutions to access and utilization barriers.
Refer to the DSMES Algorithm of Care for a full-page version of the algorithm.
2023 Standards of Care in Diabetes: This resource provides current clinical practice recommendations and is intended to provide information for clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and others on the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care.
Approaches to Increase Access to and Participation in DSMES: This report describes the work of three previous CDC cooperative agreement recipients to increase access to and participation in DSMES through targeted outreach, partnership, technical assistance, funding opportunities, and reimbursement initiatives.
ADA Diabetes Support Directory: This directory provides an overview of ADA-approved research- tested and practice-tested diabetes support programs.
ADCES DSMES Directory: Find an ADCES-accredited DSMES program in your area.
ADA DSMES Directory: Find an ADA-recognized DSMES program in your area.
Sample DSMES and diabetes support programs/services successes:
DiabetesSmart: Diabetes Education Recognition Program: North Carolina was the first state to develop a statewide “umbrella” service where the Division of Public Health serves as the sponsoring agency, managing all the ADA recognition requirements, while local health agencies are “multi-sites”, providing DSMES services for people in their communities.
New Mexico: The New Mexico Department of Health implemented Kitchen Creations in local senior centers to teach seniors with diabetes how to plan and cook meals. Participants were able to enroll in the program multiple times.
Colorado: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment worked alongside their priority populations to identify opportunities to increase referrals to existing DSMES and National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) programs and launch new programs in high-need areas, through identifying community subject matter experts and conducting interviews with DSMES and National DPP participants.
CDC Evaluability Assessments and Rapid Evaluations: DSMES Programs in Underserved Populations and Communities: In 2018, CDC conducted rapid evaluations of DSMES services. The goal was to understand implementation processes that may help others wishing to offer DSMES services for underserved populations. Lessons learned from 2 programs are highlighted.
Strategy 2 Key Terms
Covered Benefit: A health service included in the premium of a health insurance policy** paid by or on behalf of the enrolled individual (also called a benefit or covered service). For Medicaid, a
covered benefit describes coverage for eligible beneficiaries paid for by state and federal funding. (**Note that including a program/service as a covered health benefit is a more sustainable way to offer preventive services than through a wellness program.)
Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES): The ongoing process of facilitating the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis, beyond or outside of formal self-management training (Powers et al., 2020; Davis et al., 2022).
Diabetes Self-Management Support (DSMS): The support that is required for implementing and sustaining coping skills and behaviors needed to self-manage diabetes on an ongoing basis (Powers et al., 2020).
Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT): CMS uses the term “training” (DSMT) instead of “education and support” (DSMES) when defining the reimbursable benefit. This term relates specifically to Medicare billing.
DSMES Recognition and Accreditation: Processes that help ensure that DSMES services adhere to national quality standards. CMS has authorized two organizations, the ADA and ADCES, to grant recognition or accreditation for DSMES. ADA uses the term recognition, while ADCES uses the term accreditation. The two terms involve similar processes to evaluate DSMES services. Both organizations rely on the 2022 National Standards for DSMES (Davis et al., 2022).
Fully insured Employer: An employer that pays a predetermined premium to the insurance carrier. The insurance carrier assumes the financial risk for providing all contracted health care benefits.
Medicaid: A jointly funded state and federal program to provide health care for low-income Americans; requirements for basic services to be delivered are determined by the federal government, while additional services may be added by the states, resulting in every state having a unique Medicaid program.
Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs): Private organizations that contract with health care providers in a state to deliver specific services to Medicaid beneficiaries under the state’s Medicaid plan. MCOs operate on a capitated basis, meaning they are reimbursed on a per-capita basis per beneficiary. If the costs of providing care to a beneficiary are over the capitation fee, the MCO is responsible for absorbing the overage. If the costs of providing care to a beneficiary are below the capitation fee, the MCO retains the excess as profit. MCOs are also reimbursed for administrative costs and care management in addition to specific health care costs.
Medicaid State Plan and State Plan Amendment (SPA): A Medicaid state plan is an agreement between a state and the Federal government describing how that state administers its Medicaid program. It provides assurance that a state will abide by Federal rules and may claim Federal matching funds for its program activities. The state plan sets out groups of individuals to be covered, services to be provided, methodologies for providers to be reimbursed and the administrative activities that are underway in the state. Every state is required to file a Medicaid State Plan with CMS. If the state wants to make a change to its state Medicaid program by altering the services covered (within federal guidelines), or the populations covered, it must submit a SPA.
Priority Populations: Defined in the DP23-0020 notice of funding opportunity (2320 NOFO) as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other
characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each recipient.
Self-insured Employer: An employer that assumes the financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees. Self-insured employers may still contract with an insurance carrier to handle the administrative aspects of the claims process. (This is also called an Administrative Services Only [ASO] health care plan.) Many medium-to-large employers are self-insured and are the most likely to be participants in regional or state organizations promoting prevention in health benefits. For this reason, it is most productive for 2320 recipients to focus their efforts on self-insured employers.
Umbrella DSMES ADA-Recognized/ADCES-Accredited Service: A DSMES service where one agency, such as a state health department, serves as the sponsoring organization to secure ADA- recognition or ADCES-accreditation, managing all the certification requirements, while other agencies serve as multi-sites or branch sites to deliver DSMES.
1115 Demonstration Waiver: A process instituted by CMS to allow states to institute reforms that go beyond routine medical care and focus on evidence-based interventions that drive better health outcomes and quality of life improvements.
National Diabetes Prevention Program Coverage Toolkit: This online toolkit was developed to provide information about the mechanics of covering the National DPP LCP. While the content on this site is focused on National DPP, the methods can be transferred to DSMES employer coverage. The following links are specific resources for Medicaid Coverage and participating public and private employers:
Diabetes State Burden Toolkit: Use this tool to identify the health, economic, and mortality burden of diabetes in your state. This tool is particularly useful to determine what the projected outlook of health and economic costs will be if nothing is done to prevent type 2 diabetes.

lifestyle change program as a covered benefit for employees. While the content on this site is focused on the National DPP, many of the tools and resources it provides can be transferred to DSMES employer coverage.
A1C Test: Measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months. An A1C below 5.7% is normal, between 5.7 and 6.4% indicates you have prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher indicates you have diabetes.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): CKD is a chronic condition in which the kidneys are damaged and can’t filter wastes from the bloodstream as well as healthy kidneys. Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the US. About 38 million people, or 15% of US adults, are estimated to have CKD, yet about 90% are not aware of their condition. In diabetic kidney disease, in addition to cardiovascular disease, individuals are at higher risk of other diabetes-related complications, including retinopathy. Once detected, CKD is typically treated with medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers to slow disease progression.
CKD Testing: Regardless of cause, CKD is diagnosed by the presence of either of the following two indicators for at least 3 months (Levin et al., 2013):
Markers of kidney damage (one or more):
Albuminuria (albumin excretion rate ≥30 mg/24 hours; albumin-to-creatinine ratio
≥30 mg/g [≥3 mg/mmol])
Urine sediment abnormalities
Electrolyte and other abnormalities due to tubular disorder
Abnormalities detected by histology
Structural abnormalities detected by imaging
History of kidney transplantation
Decreased glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2
Clinical Decision Support (CDS): CDS provides clinicians, staff, patients, and others with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered, or presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. CDS encompasses a variety of tools to enhance decision-making in the clinical workflow. These tools include computerized alerts and reminders to care providers and patients, clinical guidelines, condition-specific order sets, focused patient data reports and summaries, documentation templates, diagnostic support, and contextually relevant reference information, among other tools. They require computable biomedical knowledge, person-specific data, and a reasoning or inferencing mechanism that combines knowledge and data to generate and present helpful information to clinicians as care is being delivered. This information must be filtered, organized, and presented in a way that supports the current workflow, allowing the user to make an informed decision quickly and act. The majority of CDS applications operate as components of comprehensive EHR systems, although stand-alone CDS systems are also used.
Diabetes Complications: Diabetes can affect many different organ systems in the body, and over time, elevated blood sugar levels can lead to serious complications. Diabetes complications can be classified as microvascular or macrovascular. Microvascular complications include nervous system damage (neuropathy), renal system damage (nephropathy, also known as CKD), and eye damage (retinopathy). Macrovascular complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Peripheral vascular disease may lead to bruises or injuries that do
not heal, gangrene, and ultimately, amputation. Additional information on the prevention of complications can be found at CDC’s Diabetes Complications.
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR): DR is a common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of incident blindness among working age adults 20-74 years in the US (Harris, 1995). DR affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye). The early stages of DR usually don’t have any symptoms. Some people notice changes in their vision, like trouble reading or seeing faraway objects. These changes may come and go. In later stages of the disease, blood vessels in the retina start to bleed into the vitreous (gel-like fluid that fills your eye). If this happens, there may be a presence of dark, floating spots or streaks that look like cobwebs. Sometimes, the spots clear up on their own — but it’s important to get treatment right away. Without treatment, scars can form in the back of the eye. Blood vessels may also start to bleed again, or the bleeding may get worse. The prevalence of DR in the US is high, with an estimated 4.1 million persons aged 40 and older (or 1 in 29 persons) experiencing it (Kempen et al. 2004). Risk for vision loss increases the longer an individual lives with diabetes. DR is nearly three times higher among adults aged 45 and over who had a diagnosis of diabetes for 10 years or more (12.2%) compared with less than 10 years (4.2%). Nearly 9.0% of adults aged 45 and over with diagnosed diabetes have DR (8.6%), and 4.1% have vision loss due to DR (Cha et al., 2019). And people who are Black or Latino are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop DR than their White counterparts (Coney and Adrienne, 2022).
DR Screening: DR is best diagnosed with a comprehensive dilated eye exam, where a doctor would place drops in a patient’s eyes to dilate the pupils and look for abnormalities (“Diabetic Retinopathy”, 2023). DR screening is significant because an 83% increase in diabetes is expected— 24 million in 2009 to 44 million by 2034 (Mansberger et al., 2013). Minority populations, including American Indian/Alaska Natives, are two times more likely to have diabetes than non-Hispanic whites. There is a 78% chance that people with poorly managed diabetes for more than 15 years will develop eye disease. Early diagnosis of DR and timely treatment can reduce the risk of permanent visual impairment and blindness by 90%. Only 62.5% of people with diabetes in the US receive annual DR screenings, and social determinants of health have an important role in DR screening rates (Baccaglini et al., 2021). In many communities, it can be challenging to obtain eye exams from eye care providers due to transportation challenges, lack of health insurance, limited access to eye care providers, and financial burdens such as co- pays or other associated costs of the exam.
Electronic Health Records (EHR): An EHR is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history that is maintained by the provider over time. EHRs may include all key administrative clinical data relevant to an individual’s care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, and radiology reports. The EHR automates access to information and has the potential to streamline the clinician's workflow. The EHR also can support other care-related activities, directly or indirectly, through various interfaces, including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.
Health Care Organizations: A center (such as a hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health agency, outpatient clinic, comprehensive rehabilitation facility, physician or non-physician practice, laboratory, etc.) that provides health services such as diagnosis of diseases, education or disease management, surgical operations and treatments, and patient recovery support.
Priority Populations: defined in the DP23-0020 notice of funding opportunity (2320 NOFO) as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or
physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations will be determined by the awardee.
Reminders (Alerts): Reminders set within the EHR, and other e-alerts, are notifications triggered by particular parameters (e.g., time and date, high/low threshold, or clinical indication) usually presented as highlighted text or a pop-up that requires action. Reminders serve to cue clinicians that certain events should take place but have not yet done so. Reminders are regularly used in primary care systems, particularly with respect to the management of patients with chronic conditions that require regularly scheduled repetitive tasks.
Telehealth: The exchange of medical information from one site to another through electronic communication to improve a patient’s health. Telehealth technology may be used to increase access to DR screening among priority populations by using a non- mydriatic retinal camera at the screening site connected to a central reading center through telemedicine. Coverage for telehealth in state Medicaid programs varies by state. It is important to understand how a third- party payer reimburses for services using telehealth technologies. The Center for Connected Health Policy publishes the most current telehealth-related policies, laws, and regulations that can be searched by all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
CDC’s Vision and Eye Health Toolkit: Provides public health agencies and their partners with information to improve vision and eye health using 4 recommended actions: 1) assess vision and eye health in your community, 2) build effective partnerships, 3) implement interventions to improve vision and eye health, and 4) evaluate the impact of vision-related interventions.

Care Practices: The process and delivery of care, in this case for persons with diabetes. Appropriate diabetes-related care practices should align with evidence-based clinical guidelines, such as the ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.
Chronic Care Model (CCM): Identifies the essential elements of a health care system that encourage high-quality, chronic disease care. These elements include the community, the health system, self-management support, delivery system design, decision support, and clinical information systems. In combination, evidence-based change concepts under each element foster productive interactions between informed patients who take an active part in their care and providers with resources and expertise.
Clinical Decision Support (CDS): CDS provides clinicians, staff, patients, and others with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered, or presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. CDS encompasses a variety of tools to enhance decision-making in the clinical workflow. These tools include computerized alerts and reminders to care providers and patients, clinical guidelines, condition-specific order sets, focused patient data reports and summaries, documentation templates, diagnostic support, and contextually relevant reference information, among other tools. They require computable biomedical knowledge, person-specific data, and a reasoning or inferencing mechanism that combines knowledge and data to generate and present helpful information to clinicians as care is being delivered. This information must be filtered, organized, and presented in a way that supports the current workflow, allowing the user to make an informed decision quickly and act. The majority of CDS applications operate as components of comprehensive EHR systems, although stand-alone CDS systems are also used.
Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA): A formal agreement in which a licensed provider makes a diagnosis, supervises patient care, and refers patients to a pharmacist or other qualified health professional under a protocol that allows them to perform specific patient care functions.
Medication Management: A practice used by doctors, nurses, and pharmacists to ensure that patients are achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes for the prescription medications they may be taking. Medication management is used to cover a broad range of professional activities, such as:
Performing patient assessments or a comprehensive review of prescription medications and their possible interaction or side effects.
Formulating both short- and long-term medication treatment plans.
Monitoring the compliance, safety, and efficacy of all prescription medication plans and working with prescribers to make timely adjustments when needed.
Ensuring directional or instruction-based compliance through patient education.
Ensuring better documentation and communication between health care providers/professionals to maintain a high standard of care.
Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process: A patient-centered approach used by pharmacists, in collaboration with other providers on the health care team, to optimize patient health and medication outcomes. Although the patient care process focuses on the pharmacist’s perspective, the process can be adapted to include other members of the health care team.
Priority Populations: Defined in the DP23-0020 notice of funding opportunity as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
Team-based Care: The provision of health services to individuals, families, and/or communities by at least two health care professionals who work collaboratively with patients and their caregivers, to the extent preferred by each patient, to accomplish shared goals within and across settings to achieve coordinated high-quality care. A team-based care approach distributes work among individuals that is appropriate to their role and allows for more responsive and timely patient care. A health team’s composition can vary across health systems and health conditions. For example, in addition to a primary care physician, a chronic care team for a patient with diabetes could comprise the following:
CHWs/Patient Navigators
Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists
Registered Dietitians
Pharmacists
Dentists
Ophthalmologists/Optometrists
Podiatrists
Rehabilitation Specialists
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends team-based care to manage diabetes. Evidence shows that team-based care improves patients’ blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels and increases the proportion of patients who reach target blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels.
ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes includes all of ADA's current clinical practice recommendations and is intended to provide clinicians, patients, researchers, payers, and others with the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care.

Priority Populations: Defined in the 2320 NOFO as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
Program Champion Strategy: CDC developed the Program Champion Strategy to support participant recruitment and outreach activities. It uses current and past program participants as Program Champions to help recruit new participants.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): The nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
Health-related social needs (HRSN) may serve as a barrier to enrolling and retaining participants in the National DPP LCP. An increasing number of CDC-recognized organizations are structuring their programs so that some of these barriers to staying in the program can be overcome, such as allowing for the provision of childcare vouchers and access to healthy food. For examples of how a CDC-recognized organization can address HRSN, see the Connecting SDOH and HRSN to Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes page of the National DPP Coverage Toolkit. For more
information on SDOH and HRSN as they relate to the National DPP LCP, visit the suite of Health Equity and the National DPP pages on the Coverage Toolkit.

Food Insecurity Among Older Adults: This issue brief describes the lasting impacts food insecurity can have on older adults and lists several recommendations and resources on how to address them.
Beneficiaries with complex social needs: Many Medicaid beneficiaries have unstable housing or are homeless, are un- or under-employed, are victims of domestic or child abuse, have job insecurity, have no means of transportation, have poor or no education, are involved with the criminal justice system, are refugees or immigrants, may not speak English, and/or may have limited or unreliable social networks (Thompson et al., 2019). These factors can contribute to poor health status and can also make this population harder to reach and harder to retain in lifestyle change programs.
Covered benefit: A health service included in the premium of a health insurance policy** paid by or on behalf of the enrolled individual (also called a benefit or covered service). For Medicaid, a covered benefit describes coverage for eligible beneficiaries paid for by state and federal funding. (**Note that including a program/service as a covered health benefit is a more sustainable way to offer preventive services than through a wellness program.)
Expanded Medicaid (under the Affordable Care Act [ACA]): Under the ACA, passed in 2010, states were required to expand Medicaid coverage to all individuals with incomes at or below 133% of poverty; in a later Supreme Court decision, this was made optional for states. Services provided include the full range of medical services; behavioral health; addiction treatment; and long-term care, residential, and community programs for the disabled and the frail elderly.
Fully insured Employer: An employer that pays a predetermined premium to the insurance carrier. The insurance carrier assumes the financial risk for providing all contracted health care benefits.
Medicaid: A jointly funded state and federal program to provide health care for low-income Americans; requirements for basic services to be delivered are determined by the federal
government, while additional services may be added by the states, resulting in every state having a unique Medicaid program.
Medicaid-eligible: Individuals who meet their state Medicaid program’s eligibility requirements; not everyone who is Medicaid-eligible is enrolled in Medicaid.
Medicaid beneficiary: An individual who has been determined to be eligible to receive Medicaid benefits and has enrolled in the program. This status can change if a person’s income changes.
Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs): Private organizations that contract with health care providers in a state to deliver specific services to Medicaid beneficiaries under the state’s Medicaid plan. MCOs operate on a capitated basis, meaning they are reimbursed on a per-capita basis per beneficiary. If the costs of providing care to a beneficiary are over the capitation fee, the MCO is responsible for absorbing the overage. If the costs of providing care to a beneficiary are below the capitation fee, the MCO retains the excess as profit. MCOs are also reimbursed for administrative costs and care management in addition to specific health care costs.
Medicaid State Plan and state plan amendment (SPA): Every state is required to file a Medicaid State Plan with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). If the state wants to make a change to its state Medicaid program by altering the services covered (within federal guidelines), or the populations covered, it must submit an SPA.
Original Medicaid: Delivers health care and other services for the populations originally identified as eligible in the Medicaid program: low-income pregnant women; young children; the elderly and the disabled, including the frail elderly in long-term care; the severely mentally ill; and the cognitively, physically, and developmentally disabled. Populations are covered for specific services, including obstetrical services, pediatrics, long-term care, behavioral health and addiction services, and long-term care, residential, and community programs for the disabled and the frail elderly.
Priority Populations: Defined in the DP23-0020 notice of funding opportunity (2320 NOFO) as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each recipient.
Self-insured employer: An employer that assumes the financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees. Self-insured employers may still contract with an insurance carrier to handle the administrative aspects of the claims process. (This is also called an Administrative Services Only [ASO] health care plan.) Many medium-to-large employers are self-insured and are the most likely to be participants in regional or state organizations promoting prevention in health benefits. For this reason, it is most productive for 2320 recipients to focus their efforts on self-insured employers.
Wellness benefits/wellness programs: Benefits offered by an employer or health plan to improve and promote employee health and fitness. The employer or health plan generally offers premium discounts, cash rewards, gym memberships, and other incentives to encourage employees to participate. Wellness benefits are not part of a health insurance program. For the purpose of this strategy, an employer may offer the National DPP LCP in several ways: 1) by contracting with a CDC-recognized organization to offer the National DPP LCP at the worksite, 2) by subsidizing employee participation in community-based CDC-recognized organizations offering the National DPP LCP, or 3) by applying for CDC recognition to offer the National DPP LCP directly. While employers generally fund wellness programs with discretionary dollars, these
programs can help build long-term sustainable support for the National DPP LCP by demonstrating successful outcomes.
1115 Demonstration Waiver: A process instituted by CMS to allow states to institute reforms that go beyond routine medical care and focus on evidence-based interventions that drive better health outcomes and quality of life improvements.

Umbrella Hub Organization (UHO): In a UHA, an organization with full or preliminary CDC recognition, agrees to serve as the sponsoring hub for a group of organizations (subsidiaries) that have CDC pending, preliminary, or full recognition. The UHO provides administrative support to subsidiary organizations so those organizations can focus on delivering the National DPP LCP.
UHOs provide administrative support by defining the mission and vision of the UHA, providing support with billing and claims platforms, assisting with financial sustainability, establishing communication and coordination protocols, and identifying and recruiting
subsidiaries. Please refer to this guide for further clarification on terminology: UHA Terminology Guide

Acquire FHWP: Method of procuring a FHWP, which may differ for each FHWP, e.g., funded recipient purchases program curriculum and supporting materials, funded recipient licenses the program or pay a user fee. These could be one-time fees or annual fees.
Adaptation/Tailoring: Thoughtful and deliberative process to change the design or delivery of an evidence-based program to improve its fit or effectiveness in a particular context (e.g. language and cultural considerations if delivering to a new population). Care must be taken to retain the core components to preserve fidelity of the intervention. The FHWP service provider will provide guidance on what parts of the FHWP can be adapted freely (e.g., recipes); what adaptations should be approached with caution; and what program components must not be changed. Adaptations can also be related to implementation strategies, which might include referral, recruitment, enrollment, and engagement.
Attendance: presence at a FHWP session. This metric occurs after enrollment. This measure reflects factors about the individual’s ability to participate in the program (e.g. removing barriers or participant readiness).
Barrier: Conditions that prevent successful implementation of the intervention. These can be related to policies (inability to bill insurance for a health service), organizational (lack of
leadership support or staffing), or individual (lack of reach to the populations in need and lack of transportation to reach the intervention).
Best Fit FHWP: This is the FHWP that the funded recipient, community partners and relevant stakeholders decide is the most appropriate program for their community’s priority age group and population based on the needs assessment.
Cohort: A group of participants in the FHWP, who enroll in the program at the same time. Or a series of program sessions.
Core components: Also considered the “active ingredients” of the program, these elements are essential for evidence-based programs and practices to produce desired outcomes (e.g., 26 contact hours). Core components must be retained throughout implementation, including when making adaptations.
Engagement: Process of working with and involving partners, stakeholders, and the community in order to implement the FHWP; the degree of engagement of the community will directly impact priority populations awareness of the program.
Enrollment: when a child is registered and assigned to a FHWP session. Enrollment typically follows these steps:
Referral received or family inquiries about program
Staff review the program with family and screen for eligibility
Child is registered for the FHWP and assigned to initial session of the program
Program attendance is the metric after enrollment.
Family Healthy Weight Program (FHWP): A family healthy weight program is an intensive, family-based lifestyle change treatment program for children aged 2-18 years with overweight and obesity. These programs are for children and their caregivers and deliver a minimum of 26 contact hours over 3 to 12 months. FHWPs have reported benefits, including improvement in health, nutrition, physical activity, and health-related quality of life.
FHWP service provider: The organization that has developed and provides ongoing technical assistance for that specific FHWP.
Fidelity: The degree to which the program is implemented as it was intended. Implementing an effective intervention without compromising the core components is essential for the intervention’s effectiveness.
Funded recipient: The organization that received funding under the cooperative agreement, i.e., HOP or REACH.
Implemented FHWP: A FHWP is considered “implemented” once the implementation partner completes its initial session of its first cohort at a site.
Implementing partner(s): The partner organization that is offering the FHWP. This could be a community or clinical organization depending on which FHWP is selected.
Implementation plan: Steps team should take to have successful implementation. (this should not be confused with the work plan). Specific tasks include those that will improve the adoption, infrastructure (e.g., data systems, staff training) and ongoing improvement of needed practices, programs or frameworks of the FHWP. This should also include:
Developing plans for hiring staff, training staff, and addressing staff turnover.
Arranging for physical space
Adherence monitoring
Addressing participant context and barriers to maximize engagement
Communication/marketing plan to support reach and referral
Implementation tracking (including measures of adaptation, fidelity, reach, referral, and engagement)
Budgeting
Planning for sustainability
Informal agreement: A written agreement between the funded recipient, implementing partner and the community representative that documents the roles and responsibilities of each entity and how they are involved with the FHWP implementation. A formal MOU or MOA may be necessary depending on the requirements or preferences of the organizations involved.
New FHWP site: A new FHWP will have been implemented when the implementing partner begins its first cohort at a site, this is defined by the date of the initial session of that cohort. A new FHWP site includes expanding implementation of existing FHWP’s to a new site.
Pre-implementation planning: Pre-implementation planning includes the identification of the many elements needed before the program is implemented. Pre-planning is critical for the long- term sustainability of the FHWP. This planning accounts for the features of the community and its preferences, community assets, the cultures of the implementing partners, and their involvement in the implementation process.
Referral (including referred individual and self-referral): the act of directing a family, or self- direction to the FHWP implementing partner to gain further information on the program or be screened for eligibility. Receipt of referral is when the FHWP implementing partner staff receive the name of the child who is potentially appropriate for FHWP enrollment (e.g., self-referral is a parent calling to inquire about the program, a community organization sending the FHWP partner a list of names and contact information for families who are interested in the program).
Setting and Modality: This refers to where and how a FHWP is delivered.
Setting examples: YMCA, Clinic
Mode examples: in-person or virtual
Site: The specific physical location where a FHWP is implemented (e.g. YMCA of Decatur) if virtual, this is the hosting organization (YMCA of Decatur).
Sustainability: After the end of the cooperative agreement, the FHWP will continue to be delivered to support continued individual behavior change and associated benefits. To ensure long-term sustainability, planning for this must begin at the same time as planning the initial FHWP implementation.

Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT): The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses the term “training” (DSMT) instead of “education and support” (DSMES) when defining the reimbursable benefit. This term relates specifically to Medicare billing.
DSMES Recognition and Accreditation: Recognition and accreditation help ensure that DSMES services offer quality education. CMS has authorized 2 organizations, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES), to grant recognition or accreditation for DSMES. ADA uses the term recognition, while ADCES uses the term accreditation. The 2 terms involve similar processes to evaluate DSMES services. Both organizations rely on the 2022 National Standards for DSMES (Davis et al., 2022).

Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Supplier: An organization with either preliminary or full (not pending) CDC-recognition that successfully completes the CMS application to become an MDPP supplier. In UHAs, the umbrella hub organization (UHO) will be the MDPP supplier; subsidiary organizations will bill CMS for reimbursement through the UHO.
National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) Lifestyle Change Program (LCP): A structured, evidence-based, year-long lifestyle change program to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The program is group-based, facilitated by a trained lifestyle coach, and uses a CDC-approved curriculum. The curriculum supports regular interaction between the lifestyle coach and participants; builds peer support; and focuses on behavior modification through healthy eating, increasing physical activity, and managing stress. The program may be delivered in-person, online, via distance learning, or through a combination of these delivery modes.
Pharmacist: A person who obtains a doctorate degree (B.S. degree in many cases before 2000) and is licensed by the state board of pharmacy within the state that he/she practices pharmacy. The professional curriculum is structured around an integrated approach to drug therapy management. The PharmD program emphasizes an integrated and problem-based approach to disease management as the core of the didactic and laboratory program of study. Many pharmacists will also pursue a 1 to 2-year residency program after formal training.
Pharmacy Chain: A pharmacy is considered a “chain pharmacy” if the organization consists of four or more stores (National Association of Chain Drug Stores, 2018).
Pharmacy Network: A group of pharmacies that have contracted with a health plan or pharmacy benefit manager to provide covered products and services to members. There are many national organizations that fit into this category, such as CPESN, the National Community Pharmacist Association, and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores. However, a “pharmacy network,” for the purpose of this strategy, may also include state pharmacy associations, a group of independent pharmacies, or a franchise of independent community pharmacies.
Pharmacy Technician: A person who is licensed by their state board of pharmacy to perform a wide range of tasks, such as helping pharmacists fill prescriptions, maintaining pharmacies, assisting with administrative work, and offering customer service (National Pharmacy Technician Association, n.d.). Pharmacy technicians can pursue formal training through an education and training program or learn on the job (Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, n.d.).
Bi-directional Services e-Referral (BSeR): A system that supports information going from the health care system to a specified community program or resource (e.g., a D-recognized organization offering the National DPP LCP and information returning from that program to the health care system). Ideally, bi-directional referral systems are integrated within the electronic health record (EHR). Bi-directional referrals help “close the loop,” allowing community programs to share information with health care provider(s) on the progress of the individuals they referred using an electronic platform.
Priority Populations: Defined in the 2320 NOFO as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
Subsidiary Organization: A community-based organization (CBO) participating in a UHA that delivers the National DPP LCP and receives administrative support from the UHO. Subsidiary organizations may also be referred to as affiliates.
Umbrella DSMES ADA-recognized/ADCES-accredited service: A DSMES service where an agency serves as the sponsoring organization to secure ADA-recognition or ADCES-accreditation, managing all the certification requirements, while other agencies serve as multi-sites or branch sites to deliver DSMES.
Umbrella Hub Arrangement (UHA): UHAs help connect community-based organizations (CBOs) with health care payment systems to pursue sustainable reimbursement for the National DPP LCP. The overarching term refers to the entire group, inclusive of the UHO, subsidiaries, and billing platform. This term is distinct from the term UHO (see below). The UHA may also be referred to as the umbrella arrangement or hub arrangement.
Umbrella Hub Organization (UHO): In a UHA, this organization, with full or preliminary CDC recognition, agrees to serve as the sponsoring hub for a group of organizations (subsidiaries) that have CDC pending, preliminary, or full recognition. The UHO provides administrative support for subsidiary organizations so those organizations can focus on delivering the National DPP LCP. This includes support with communication and coordination protocols, identification and recruitment of subsidiaries, and billing and claims platforms to help achieve financial sustainability.
National DPP Umbrella Hub Agreements: This term refers to contracts and charters or other business documents. These can include, but are not limited to, the following:
Contract between UHOs and subsidiaries detailing the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved, including any financial arrangement between the UHO and subsidiaries.
Charter between the UHO and subsidiaries detailing the UHA’s mission, objectives, and purpose.
Master services agreement between the UHO and billing platform vendor detailing the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved.

or social service organizations (or in some cases patients) on the outcomes of their referrals.
Community Information Exchange (CIE): An ecosystem comprised of multidisciplinary network partners that use a shared language, a resource database, and an integrated technology platform to support enhanced community care planning. Care planning tools enable partners to integrate data from multiple sources and make bi-directional referrals to create a shared longitudinal record. By focusing on these core components, a CIE enables communities to shift away from a reactive approach toward proactive, holistic, person-centered care.
Community Resource Platform: A closed-loop system designed to facilitate multi-directional
communication, referrals, and coordination across sectors.
Community Readiness: Reflects the existing landscape of needs, assets, initiatives, opportunities, and challenges in the community of focus, including shared interests and capacities.

Data Sharing Agreements: Agreements that set out the legal authority that supports data sharing, establishes and documents the terms of sharing, and delineates responsibility for monitoring and accountability. These formal agreements clearly outline what information each partner will exchange and be able to access.
Dead-end Referrals: Referrals made to organizations that are not currently active in the network, thereby creating a situation where those referrals will not be picked up (i.e., they “hit a dead- end”).
Electronic Health Record (EHR): An electronic version of a patient’s medical history. It is maintained by the provider over time and may include key administrative and clinical data relevant to care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, and radiology reports.
Fast Health Care Interoperability Resources (FHIR): A widely adopted, open-source modern health interoperability standard. FHIR defines two core areas to enable communication between systems:
The way data should be accessed and managed – Reading or searching records, updating records, creating new records, or deleting records.
The structure, or shape, of the data – How parts of a health care record are represented,
consistent names of data elements, what everything means, and how it should be used.
Fast Health Care Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Implementation Guides (IGs): Guides that define how FHIR should be used for a specific use case or domain. The FHIR IG process is a collaborative effort between sponsors, developers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and community partners.
Governance: The establishment and oversight of a common set of behaviors, policies, and standards that enable trusted electronic health information exchange among a set of participants. Governance involves decision-making processes and groups at three levels: institutional, administrative, and data governance. Consider the multi-tiered governance framework to help drive decision making. Refer to pages 63-69 in the Social Determinants of Health Information Exchange Toolkit for specific opportunities related to this activity.
Gravity Project: Exists to serve as an open public collaborative to advance health and social data standardization for health equity by building and promulgating consensus driven SDOH data standards for health and social care interoperability and use among multi-stakeholders.
Gravity Project SDOH Standardization: This project seeks to identify coded data elements and associated value sets [possible values or responses for a data element] to represent social determinants of health data documented in EHRs across four clinical activities: screening, diagnosis, planning, and interventions. The project is focused on three specific social risk domains: food insecurity, housing instability and quality, and transportation access. These domains were selected based on existing research linking these factors with health and utilization and on active experiments related to these domains, including in federal, state, or local demonstration projects.
Health Data Utility (HDU): Statewide models or entities with the advanced technical capabilities to combine, enhance, and exchange electronic health data across care and service settings for treatment, care coordination, quality improvement, and public and community health purposes. HDUs enable specific, defined use cases with privacy and security that exceeds federal minimum standards established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and as amended by HITECH to ensure patient privacy and appropriate data use.
Health Equity: The state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their fullest health potential and no one is disadvantaged because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.
Health Information Exchange (HIE): Enables the electronic transmission of health -related data among health care facilities. HIEs have traditionally facilitated access to and retrieval of clinical data to provide safer and more timely, efficient, effective, and equitable patient-centered care.
Verb: The electronic sharing of health-related data between two or more organizations facilitated by applied standards for use by a variety of stakeholders to inform health and care.
Noun: Organizations within the United States that provide HIE technology and services at a state, regional, or national level and often work directly with communities to promote secure sharing of health data.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA): A federal law that requires the creation of national standards to protect sensitive PHI from being disclosed without patients’ consent or knowledge.
Health Level 7 (HL7): A standard development organization that develops specifications to structure, encode, and exchange electronic health information. HL7 standards define how information is packaged and communicated from one party to another, setting the language, structure and data types required for seamless integration between systems. These standards support clinical practice and the management, delivery, and evaluation of health services.
HL7 FHIR Connectathons: Events centered on developing HL7 FHIR specifications, including resources, profiles, and implementation guides. For an IG to be published, it must participate in at least one Connectathon and go through a balloting period.
Implementation Services: Inclusive of technical services (e.g., defining requirements, [interoperability] standards specifications, and integration with existing infrastructure) and
programmatic services (e.g., defining use cases, workflow design/redesign), as well as support for adoption and utilization by individuals and the community.
Interoperability: Sharing information seamlessly. An interoperable health IT environment makes this possible. EHR interoperability enables better workflows and reduced ambiguity and allows data transfer among EHR systems and health care stakeholders. Ultimately, an interoperable environment improves the delivery of health care by making the right data available at the right time to the right people.
Managed Care Organization (MCO) Contracting: States/counties can integrate language into MCO contracts that encourage collaboration with communities (e.g., social service referrals).
Multi-Stakeholder, Cross-Sector Governance: Public-private partnerships that include state and federal agencies, health care system representatives, consumers, community service organizations, and others depending on implemented use cases. Strategic community and stakeholder engagement in governance informs priorities and increases transparency and accountability. Trust is strengthened with cross-sector input.
Priority Populations: Defined in the 2320 notice of funding opportunity as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
Multi-Directional e-Referral (MDeR): Supports information sharing across multiple systems (health care, CBOs, human (social) service organizations) thereby allowing the different service providers to help “close the loop” in patient care.
Referral: A healthcare system referral is a process whereby a patient is recommended to receive a specific service or program delivered by another entity.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): The nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
Social Services: Housing, food, transportation, and other forms of support provided by government and private, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations for the benefit of the community and to promote social well-being.

Community Care Hub (CCH): a community-focused entity that organizes and supports a network of community-based organizations providing services to address health-related social needs (ACL,
2022). CCHs are supported by a variety of groups including ACL, CMS, and CDC. Note: UHAs are
similar to CCHs (see strategy 7), but UHAs, to date, have focused exclusively on offering the LCP.
Health related social needs (HSRN): HRSN are frequently identified as root causes of disparities in health outcomes. The term HRSN is used instead of social determinants of health (SDOH) to emphasize that HRSNs are a proximate cause of poor health outcomes for individual patients as opposed to SDOH, which is a term better suited for describing populations.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): SDOH are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
Streamlined reimbursement: Streamlined reimbursement, for purposes of this strategy, means developing payment mechanisms for reimbursement of the LCP that do not require claims submission from the LCP (e.g., vouchers or participation in a capitation system where community partners are reimbursed for their share of the capitated payment rate.) For example, the CCH may negotiate a capitated rate in exchange for care management and reimburse for community services on a fee for service basis.
State Plan Authority: Optional state plan services (e.g., peer supports, case management).
ACA Health Home option.
Section 1115 Waivers: Federal matching funds to test SDOH-related services and supports alternative payment models (APMs).

Integrated care models: Patient centered medical homes (PCMHs) and accountable care organizations (ACOS)
Medicaid In Lieu of Services (ILOS): An innovative option states may consider employing in Medicaid managed care programs to reduce health disparities and address unmet health-related social needs (HRSNs), such as housing instability and nutrition insecurity, through the use of a service or setting that is provided to an enrollee in lieu of a service or setting (ILOS) covered under the state plan.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): The nonmedical factors that influence healthoutcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
Health Related Social Needs (HRSN)***: An individual’s unmet, adverse social conditions that contribute to poor health. These needs – including food insecurity, housing instability, unemployment, and/or lack of reliable transportation – can drive health disparities across demographic groups. An individual’s HRSN are a result of their community’s underlying SDOH (CMS, 2021).
Streamlined reimbursement: Streamlined reimbursement, for purposes of this strategy, means developing payment mechanisms for reimbursement of the National DPP LCP that do not require claims submission from the CDC-recognized program delivery organization (e.g., vouchers or participation in a capitation system where community partners are reimbursed for their share of
the capitated payment rate). For example, the CCH may negotiate a capitated rate in exchange for care management and reimburse for community services on a fee-for-service basis.

Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services (CMS 2442-P) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: This proposed rule by CMS is intended to increase transparency and accountability, standardize data
and monitoring, and create opportunities for states to promote active beneficiary engagement in their Medicaid programs. A substantive component of these requirements focus on improving access to, and the quality of home and community-based services.
Incorporating Community-Based Organizations in Medicaid Efforts to Address Health-Related Social Needs: Key State Considerations - Center for Health Care Strategies (chcs.org)
Mechanisms: Broadly, this refers to the means by which CHW services are financially reimbursed. Examples include:
A 2014 update to the regulatory definition of Medicaid preventive services by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) allows coverage for preventive services provided by non- licensed providers, including CHWs, when those services are recommended by a physician or other licensed provider (42 CFR 440.130).
CHW services can also be covered under other benefits, such as the outpatient hospital services benefit (42 CFR 440.20), and through programs authorized under the Medicaid health homes state plan option created under Section 2703 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, P.L. 111- 148). This team-based care model allows states to establish health homes to coordinate and manage care for people who have chronic conditions. Several states have specified in their state plan amendments that health home teams can or must include a CHW.
Some states cover CHW services using Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waivers by allowing CHWs to provide services to beneficiaries, providing incentive payments for activities related to CHWs, or by providing funding for CHW infrastructure (Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission [MACPAC], 2022).
CHW Scope of Practice: It is central to CHWs’ scope of practice to serve as a link between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery (American Public Health Association, 2020). A CHW also builds individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy. The roles and tasks of individual CHWs will vary based on their organizations and the needs of the populations served. A list of CHW competencies, with example activities, is provided below:
Cultural Mediation among Individuals, Communities, and Health and Social Service Systems
Educate individuals and communities about how to use health and social service systems (including understanding how systems operate).
Educate systems about community perspectives and cultural norms (including supporting implementation of Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services [CLAS] standards).
Build health literacy and cross-cultural communication.
Care Coordination, Case Management, and System Navigation
Participate in care coordination and/or case management.
Make referrals and provide follow-up.
Facilitate transportation to services and help address other barriers to access.
Document and track individual and population level data.
Inform people and systems about community assets and challenges.
Providing Coaching and Social Support
Provide individual support and coaching (e.g., CHWs can be trained as National DPP lifestyle coaches).
Motivate and encourage people to obtain care and other services.
Support self-management of disease prevention and management of health conditions (e.g., CHWs can serve as part of a team providing DSMES services).
Plan and/or lead support groups.
Advocating for Individuals and Communities
Advocate for the needs and perspectives of communities.
Connect to resources (e.g. food and housing).
Building Individual and Community Capacity
Train and build individual capacity with CHW peers and among groups of CHWs.
Implementing Individual and Community Assessments
Participate in design, implementation, and interpretation of individual-level assessments (e.g., home environmental assessment).
Participate in design, implementation, and interpretation of community-level assessments (e.g., windshield survey of community assets and challenges, community asset mapping).
Conducting Outreach
Engage in case-finding/recruitment of individuals, families, and community groups to services and systems.
Follow-up on health and social service encounters with individuals, families, and community groups; conduct home visits to provide education, assessment, and social support.
Present at local agencies and community events.
CHW Sectors: Medical (hospital, health centers, primary care, oral health), public health (local and state health departments and non-profits), education (k-12, parent supports and colleges), housing, food systems (pantries, soup kitchens, and nutrition centers), chronic disease management (diabetes, heart disease and stroke, HIV/AIDS, cancer), mental health (family counseling, support groups, residential facilities, substance use treatment), advocacy (immigration, civil rights, voting rights), health plans (insurance enrollment, care coordination). Examples of CHW job titles can be found here (CDC, 2018). The type of CHW service delivery can be categorized into “covered” or “enabling,” depending on the operation of the organization and how the CHW functions.
CHW Qualities: CHW qualities help inform who is or becomes a CHW. Skills are something a person is capable of doing because they have learned, whereas qualities are personal characteristics or traits that can be enhanced but not taught. When CHWs are recruited, agreement on CHW qualities can help inform a job description and employer decisions. CHW qualities can also establish important parameters for the field and inform CHW training and educational decisions. For more information, visit the CHW Core Consensus Project (The Community Health Worker Core Consensus Project, 2016).
Covered Services: Services ordered by a licensed provider that are to be provided by a CHW. These services frequently include conducting intake assessments, social needs assessments, and providing health education to individuals and groups in conjunction with a health care team. Services can occur face-to-face with recipients in an outpatient clinic, hospital, client’s home, or other community settings. It is also important to ensure that the health education services being provided can be modified to meet clinical needs, cultural norms, and health literacy levels. Reimbursement of covered services may vary from state to state pending state plans and Medicaid coverage. Examples of CHW-covered services can be found in the policy brief developed by CDC’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, Addressing Chronic Disease
through Community Health Workers, and in the technical assistance guide, States Implementing CHW Strategies. These and other resources can be found in the CHW Toolkit (CDC, 2011; CDC, 2014; CDC, 2019).
Enabling Services: Non-clinical services that support the delivery of basic health services and facilitate access to comprehensive patient care as well as social services. They include case management, benefit counseling or eligibility assistance, health education and supportive counseling, interpretation, outreach, transportation, and education of patients and the community regarding the availability and appropriate use of health services. CHWs can be engaged to deliver these enabling services and to serve as advocates and health guides for clients with diabetes or prediabetes.
Priority Populations: Defined in the 2320 NOFO as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
A CHW Scope of Practice (SoP): Describes the roles that CHWs perform including cultural mediation, outreach, health education, social support, advocacy, capacity building, care coordination, provision of direct services, and research, evaluation, and assessment (https://www.cdc.gov/dhdsp/pubs/docs/CHW-PEAR.pdf). Central to CHWs’ scope of practice, is to serve as a link between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery (American Public Health Association, 2020). Recipients should also refer to the Community Health Worker Core Consensus (C3) Project definition of the roles and competencies of CHWs, the Community Health Workers : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) and the ADCES Practice Competencies for Diabetes Community Care Coordinators and Health Care Professionals.
Social Determinants of Health: Nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
Sustainability: The ability to maintain programs or services and their benefits over time. To improve capacity for sustainability, it suggested that organizations strengthen the structures and processes that exist within their programs to ensure that they can strategically leverage resources to weather the changes and challenges that will come their way. Relative to CHWs, sustainable financing refers to systems of budgeting for CHW positions without program or project grants or contracts. Funding may be sustained through continuous revenue streams that explicitly provide for or “cover” CHW services or within an employer’s overall revenue picture without a specific revenue source being dedicated to CHW services (Rush et al., 2020). The Rural Health Information Hub, supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration, suggests that there are three critical issues linked to the sustainability of CHW programs: 1) evaluation, 2) financing, and 3) credentialing (RHIhub, 2019).

Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms (or pounds) by the square of height in meters (or feet). BMI percentile for children is age- and sex-specific and is often referred to as BMI-for-age. Because children and teens are growing, the ranges of height, weight, and BMI vary by age and sex. As a result, BMI values need to be expressed as a percentile, which is relative to other children of the same sex and age.
Childhood Obesity: Using the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts, childhood obesity is defined as BMI at or above 95th percentile for age and sex.
Childhood Overweight: Using the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts, overweight is defined as a BMI from the 85th percentile to 94th percentile for age and sex.

Priority Populations: Defined in the 2320 notice of funding opportunity as those who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, age, mental health, cognitive, sensory, or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity, geographic location, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion. Priority populations of focus will be determined by each award recipient.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): Social determinants of health are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems.
