Improving outcomes for patients with diabetes using Joslin Diabetes Center's Registry and Risk Stratification system.

Joslin Diabetes Center's Registry and Risk Stratification System collects data on key measures of diabetes care and provides diabetes decision support to primary care providers. Specifically, this system identifies high-risk patients in a population, recommends patient-specific interventions based on Joslin's clinical guidelines, and reports a clinic's process and quality metrics for benchmarking and regional comparisons. This article describes Joslin's system and its impact on the quality of diabetes care in the primary care setting.
