  2. Opportunity Statement and Desired Outcome Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can cause complications which result in significant morbidity and early mortality. Adherence to a protocol based on recommendations from the American Diabetes Association reduces the risk of developing these complications.

  3. Elements of the DM protocol • Blood pressure screening and treatment if >130/80 • Daily aspirin use, if not contraindicated • Annual dilated eye examination • Annual monofilament foot examination • Chronic care flow sheet to track elements of the protocol • Annual (or more frequently as indicated) laboratory measurement of: • Hemoglobin A1C (goal <7) • Lipid Profile/LDL (LDL goal < 100) • Urine for microalbumin or 24 hour urine protein • Vaccinations • Influenza • Pneumovax

  4. Protocol Outcome Measures • Blood Pressure • % with < 130/80 • Multiple systolic and diastolic ranges • LDL • % with < 100 • % with < 130 • HbA1C • % with < 7.0 • % with < 8.0 • % with >9.5

  5. Most Likely Causes for Current Opportunity Patient non-compliance due to: • lack of knowledge • lack of money for medications/medical care • lack of success in making necessary lifestyle changes to comply with protocol Clinical staff non-compliance due to: • lack of knowledge concerning patient educational resources available through the Diabetes Center • lack of frequent office visits to instruct and encourage patient to comply with protocol • insufficient awareness of personal practice patterns • difficult for clinicians to recall all 12 protocol elements at every office visit

  6. Data Needed • Blood level (most recent if >1 in last year): • Hemoglobin A1C • Lipid Profile (LDL) • Documentation of (chart review): • Blood pressure • Monofilament foot examination • Aspirin usage or contraindication for aspirin • Confirmation of annual eye examination • Chronic care flow sheet in chart and used • Vaccinations • Urine specimen

  7. Solutions Implemented - Year III • Expanded the protocol to include vaccinations • Continued auditing of all patients with diabetes • Quarterly audit of lab values • Expanded chart audits to provide individual physician feedback • Initiated personalized feedback to physicians on personal practice patterns • Promotes self awareness of individual opportunities to standardize care • Is proven in QI literature to promote change in physician practice • Created and posted an outpatient diabetes management order set • Assured attention to all elements of the protocol • Standardized care reflecting best practice • Made accessible any time, anywhere via the Electronic Medical Record • Partnered with LUHS Diabetes Care Center • To coordinate and assure optimal use of system resources • To empower patients with knowledge and ability to control their diabetes

  8. Primary Care Network, HbA1C Outcome measures show patient's blood sugar well-controlled Individual feedback implemented Enhanced feedback 100% 80% Documented adherence 60% 40% 20% 0% *July, Oct, 2001, Jan., 2002, April, 2002, July, 2002, ***Jan., 2003, 2001,N=644 N=579 N=582 N=757 N=621 N=342 36% 32% 34% 38% 45% 43% HbA1C < 7.0 59% 61% 58% 65% 66% 64% HbA1C < 8.0 18% 18% 17% 13% 14% 16% HbA1C > 9.5 Confidential Quality Improvement Material

  14. Conclusions • The PC network provides excellent DM care, well above 90 percentile on all but one HEDIS measure • Compliance with the protocol continues to improve and more diabetics are achieving goals of the protocol • Continued progress can be made to improve patient outcomes

  15. Next Steps • Continue • Quarterly audits of EMR and chart audits • To provide individual feedback to the PCP • To include results of process measures in annual faculty review • Participate in UHC diabetes benchmarking project • Enhance diabetes resources on the EMR
