Summary
This act establishes a three-year Delaware Diabetes Wellness Pilot Program within the Department of Health and Social Services to study proactive management of diabetes care. The program will partner a Delaware health system with a technology provider to regularly test, measure, and manage the care of a representative group of diabetic patients while incentivizing both patients and providers to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. The program shifts the focus from reactive "sick care" to proactive "well care" by using data analysis to track and measure results. After three years, the program will analyze collected data to determine whether the pilot should be renewed and expanded statewide. The program is funded through the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, requiring no state fiscal contribution.

Official abstract
This Act provides a roadmap via an observational study on a small but representative group of diabetic patients to change standard healthcare from current reactive “sick care” to proactive “well care”. This will be accomplished by using a Delaware health system combined with a technology partner to regularly test, measure and manage, and incentivize diabetic patients and their providers to improve the health outcomes for Delawareans and drive down healthcare costs. The length of the observational study will be 3 years. During that time, data analysis will track results to determine if this Pilot Program shall be renewed and expanded. This Act requires no fiscal note in that this Pilot Program is to be federally funded through the Federal Rural Health Transformation Program.
