Multi-site diabetes initiative targets inpatient and outpatient care.
Recognizing that routine diabetes care has simply not kept pace with the science, Irving, TX-based VHA is on a mission to help its member facilities boost their performance on a number of inpatient and outpatient parameters. While goals for the effort are uniform, each member site has been charged with developing its own roadmap--essentially producing a flurry of quality improvement activities that take aim at common problems.
