Diabetes Report Card

Toolkit for Implementing the Chronic Care Model in an Academic Environment

Summa Health System Internal Medicine residents use the Diabetes Report Card to update patients on their progress. The report card pulls patient data (e.g., blood pressure, LDL, HbA1c) from a registry and presents them in an easily accessible format. It includes information about the meaning and importance of each quality measure, lists previous self-management goals set by the patient, and provides an area for new goals.
