title: A laser-like focus on diabetes pays off for multi-plan coalition in NM.
abstract: Where the efforts of other coalitions have fallen short, several managed care organizations in New Mexico have been able to work together to substantially raise HEDIS scores related to diabetes across the entire state. There is more room for improvement, but some leaders of the effort are already suggesting the same model could be used to address other chronic diseases as well.
