title: Development of a Web-based diabetes patient management tool.
abstract: A Web-based programmed lipid management reminder system has been developed to evaluate physician compliance with the National Cholesterol Education Program's Third Report of the Adult Treatment Panel Guidelines in primary care clinics. The system builds a knowledge-based database from an EMR database first, then generates quarterly profiles of providers and sends the profiles with a reminder letter to each participated physicians by email every quarter to help primary care providers to improve the quality of their care.
