Abstract

The impact of eleven distinct strategies for quality improvement (QI) on glycemic control was assessed in adults with type 2 diabetes. Most QI strategies produced small to modest improvements in glycemic control, while team changes and case management showed more robust improvements, especially for interventions in which case managers could adjust medication independently without awaiting physician approval.
