Diabetes Complication in New York City

The prevention and effective management of diabetes in a primary care setting can reduce the number of hospitalizations for diabetes-related complications. Therefore, quantifying the rate of hospitalization can provide a measure of unsuccessful outpatient care. This study provides data to encourage a greater emphasis on primary care for diabetes. A major goal of the NYSHealth Diabetes Campaign is to improve management of diabetes in primary care settings, such as outpatient delivery centers, community health centers, and private offices.
