Summary

The purpose of this study is to test an intervention in primary care clinics to improve three risk factors for diabetes complications: glucose control, blood pressure and cholesterol. Subjects in the study will be clinic staff and clinicians, not patients. The intervention is Practice Facilitation. Practice facilitation occurs when a trained facilitator meets with a team of staff and clinicians in each practice over a period of several months. Facilitation meetings create time for learning and reflection by members of the team and improves their communication so that they can adopt and implement a strategy to improve patient care
