title: Population-based effort takes promise of DM to a new level with CAD patients.
abstract: The case for early investments in DM for CAD patients. While the majority of DM programs tend to focus on the most severely ill patients, a strong case can be made that earlier intervention would offer greater benefits--at least over the long term. In fact, using such cutting-edge tools as predictive modeling, a handful of pioneering organizations are beginning to take their DM programs to this next stage, and early results show promise.
