Overview  Why focus on older adults?  Why evidence-based approaches?  Specifics on programs DHS is supporting in Oregon  Programs and beyond

Why Focus on Older Adults  More than 1.7 million Americans die of a chronic disease each year.  80% of older adults have at least one chronic condition; 50% at least two.  95% of health care spending for older adults attributed to chronic conditions  Four chronic diseases—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes—cause almost 2/3 of all deaths each year.

Why Focus on Older Adults Research shows that if older adults maintain just three health habits – moderate physical activity, good nutrition, and not smoking - they can delay disability by as much as 10 years.

Why Evidence-Based Approaches For the state:  Limited resources  We have the evidence  Ability to justify what we’re doing  National support For communities: oIncreases the likelihood of positive outcomes oMakes it easier to justify funding oHelps to establish partnerships –esp. with health care oLeads to efficient use of resources oSupports continuous quality improvement
