The Diabetes Quality Improvement Project

The Diabetes Quality Improvement Project is a coalition of public and private entities representing generalist physicians; specialists in diabetes care and education; experts in health services research, epidemiology, and statistics; health plan administration; and others. The group has established a set of diabetes-specific performance and outcome measures, based on scientific evidence, that are user-friendly to payers and consumers, allow for fair comparisons of health care plans, and stimulate quality improvement.
