Click here for report documentation The report is for measurement period 8/1/2009 through 8/31/2009
Component (“optimal” care) measure of the percentage of adult patients whohave type 1 or type 2 diabetes with optimally managed modifiable risk factors. All Crossroad sites are excluded from the District and Total Counts since they have not been up on Excellian for 2 years. 'HbA1c <8' data is used in the optimal control calculation.
