Wheaton doctors get high marks for diabetes care
WFMG Practices Achieve 90th Percentile Performance for Diabetes Care
Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group physicians, advanced level practitioners and their respective clinical teams in Southeast Wisconsin have achieved the 90th percentile performance in Diabetes care, when compared to benchmarks established by the Wisconsin Collaborative for Health Care Quality (WCHQ) for diabetes testing, control and monitoring.
The Diabetes Index is a composite quality metric which includes: A1c testing and control; LDL testing and control; kidney function screening; and blood pressure control. This comprehensive index serves as a key marker to showing excellence in diabetes care and management.
Exceptional performance in the diabetes index correlates to optimally controlled disease, better outcomes and improved quality of life for our patients who trust us with their care.
