Major Activities

Activity 2

Best practices:the best practices study commissioned by the bhcag foundation identified factors at the medical group level and clinic level that contribute to the ability of clinics to achieve optimal management of diabetes care and cardiovascular care, as well as factors that contribute to the inability of clinics to achieve optimal management. The factors that contribute to the achievement of optimal management are typically found in clinics with higher rates of optimal care for patients with diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease. Lower performing clinics who implement these "best practices" have the potential to improve their rates of optimal management, thereby improving the health outcomes of their patients with diabetes and vascular disease. There are clinics throughout minnesota with lower rates of optimal management for these diseases; therefore, this study has the potential to impact minnesotans throughout the state who have diabetes or vascular disease. Estimated 4-5 million benefited.

Activity 3

Rwj project: examining the effects of public reporting and pay-for-performance on health care qualityproject title: direct reporting of performance data by physicians: lessons from the minnesota experiencethis project will provide valuable and timely information to other entities engaged in public reporting and the physician practices that wish to use clinical data rather than, or in addition to, administrative data to report their performance and guide their quality improvement efforts. Study findings will have the potential to contribute significantly to the knowledge base on public reporting of physician performance. Estimated 4-5 million benefited.
