Multilevel variation in diabetes screening within an integrated health system.
Variation in diabetes screening in clinical practice is poorly described. In this study, the investigators examined the interplay of patient, provider, and clinic factors explaining variation in diabetes screening within an integrated health care system in the U.S. They concluded that screening practices varied widely and were only partially explained by patient, provider, and clinic factors available in the EHR.

The effect of regular primary care utilization on long-term glycemic and blood pressure control in adults with diabetes.
The researchers sought to assess the effect of primary care utilization on glycemic control and blood pressure control for a cohort of customer-owners with diabetes mellitus (DM) who received care from Southcentral Foundation, a tribal provider. They found that regular primary care utilization over 16 years was associated with higher rates of blood pressure control and glycemic control for adults with DM.
