Pennsylvania is experiencing a noticeable rise in diabetes cases, with hospitalizations increasing by less than 1% in the past two years. Currently, 8% of adults in the state suffer from diabetes, surpassing the national average of 7%. Counties in Western Pennsylvania report significant instances of end-stage kidney disease, a common complication of diabetes.
This growing health challenge is reflected in a 9% rise in diabetes-related hospitalizations over the past five years, reaching 23,725 in 2004. In response, a new health initiative featuring health coaches aims to curb healthcare costs and improve diabetes management.
The Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council found that hospitalizations resulted in over $673 million in charges last year, with health plans covering 40% of this amount.
Launching in January, the initiative will introduce health coaches to 4,200 diabetic employees across 10 companies in the region. Spearheaded by the Pittsburgh Business Group on Health, which includes HR and benefits executives from 62 local companies, the program is designed to reduce employer healthcare expenses and help employees manage their condition while remaining productive at work.
Participating employees will receive counseling from pharmacists on medication usage. Health coaches will ensure patients get necessary tests and adhere to diet and exercise recommendations. This personalized support is expected to keep patients healthier and reduce hospital visits.
