Healthcare organizations possess more diabetes data than ever before, yet many still struggle to translate it into reliable, scalable action. This session shares a practical, replicable playbook for diabetes population health that helps teams move from “information” to prioritized work, outreach and measurable results. 

Speakers from diverse settings will walk through how they built and operated diabetes registries, identified patients who need attention, designed actionable worklists and delivered standardized interventions while preserving clinical nuance. Real-world examples will include rural and statewide approaches, pediatric and adult programs and models aligned to value-based incentives. We will be candid about what worked, what did not and the trade-offs behind key implementation decisions, including governance, staffing, workflow design and data integration across varied technology environments. 

Attendees will leave with a step-by-step replication checklist, a recommended operating rhythm and practical templates they can adapt in their own organization to improve timeliness of support, reduce avoidable acute events and create a more equitable safety net for people living with diabetes.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the core operational, clinical and technical building blocks required to run data-driven diabetes population health (registry, data inputs, governance, roles and an operating cadence) program. 
• Apply a step-by-step implementation checklist to launch or strengthen a diabetes population health program, including registry setup, workflow design, staffing and stakeholder engagement. 
• Evaluate and refine key implementation decisions using practical measures of success (for example, timeliness of outreach, program reach, acute event utilization and reliability of data feeds) to improve performance and equity over time.
