Economic evaluation of quality improvement interventions designed to improve glycemic control in diabetes: a systematic review and weighted regression analysis.
This study systematically reviewed economic evaluations of quality improvement (QI) interventions for glycemic control among adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Using English-language studies from high-income countries that evaluated organizational changes and reported program and utilization-related costs, the researchers extracted data regarding intervention, study design, change in HbA1c, time horizon, perspective, incremental net cost, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, and study quality. They conclude that diverse and multifaceted QI interventions which lower HbA1c appear to be a fair-to-good value, relative to usual care.

The costs of participating in a diabetes quality improvement collaborative: Variation among five clinics.
The costs over the first four years-from June 2009 through May 2013-of an ongoing diabetes Quality improvement collaborative were characterized by activities and over time. Cost/diabetic patient/year ranged across clinic sites from $6 (largest clinic) to $68 (smallest clinic).
