Description
There are currently an estimated 37.3 Americans living with diabetes, more than a 40 percent increase from a decade ago. Thus, it isn't surprising that efforts to measure and improve the quality of health care focuses a significant amount of attention on diabetes.Major health care quality datasets all include a number of measures related to the quality of diabetes care. Given the continuing growth in the burden of diabetes, it's appropriate to ask the question: What are we actually getting from measuring the quality of diabetes care as we do it today?Rozalina McCoy from Mayo Clinic joins A Health Podyssey today to discuss just that very topic.McCoy and coauthors published a paper in the July 2022 issue of Health Affairs examining diabetes quality measures in the US since the mid-1990s. They recommend some pretty significant changes in how we measure and report on the quality of diabetes care.McCoy's research was part of a six-paper cluster of research on type 2 diabetes, all of which were published in the July 2022 issue of Health Affairs.Order the July 2022 issue of Health Affairs for research on type 2 diabetes and more.Currently, more than 70 percent of our content is freely available - and we'd like to keep it that way.
