Improving Diabetes in Primary Care (IMPACT)

Completed

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension

In brief

The goal of our research program is to successfully translate empirical knowledge regarding diabetes treatment and management into sustainable clinical practice. The study hypothesis is that implementation of a multicomponent intervention will result in meaningful improvement in clinical performance measures at the clinic that include average A1c (Hemoglobin A1c), average systolic blood pressure, and national clinical performance measures at a reasonable cost to the health system.
