Diabetes - Adult
Product Overview
The Diabetes – Adult application aligns data from disparate systems to create a clear picture that helps improvement teams monitor outcomes and process measures—so they can prioritize improvement projects and assess their impact on patients. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health issue. A recent study projects that 40% of American adults will develop diabetes in their lifetimes. Wide variation in diabetes care across practice settings means there is potential for system-level improvements which this application can help identify and monitor.
