Effect of a Type 2 Diabetes-Focused Visit Improvement Initiative on Therapeutic Inertia and Glycemic Control in Primary Care

Lauren Oshman et al. Clin Diabetes. 2023 Spring.

Abstract

Quality Improvement Success Stories are published by the American Diabetes Association in collaboration with the American College of Physicians and the National Diabetes Education Program. This series is intended to highlight best practices and strategies from programs and clinics that have successfully improved the quality of care for people with diabetes or related conditions. Each article in the series is reviewed and follows a standard format developed by the editors of Clinical Diabetes. The following article describes a multicomponent quality improvement initiative in the Chicago, IL, area that used a diabetes-focused clinic visit to overcome barriers that lead to clinical inertia for type 2 diabetes.
