NCQA Diabetes Physician Recognition Program

To recognize and support physicians in delivering consistent, high-quality care, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and The American Diabetes Association (ADA) have developed the Diabetes Physician Recognition Program. The program focuses on preventing diabetic complications by focusing on four main areas. When these four clinical areas are managed properly in diabetic patients, clinical outcomes are improved dramatically.

This is a voluntary program that helps physicians apply evidence-based measures to control diabetes in their diabetic patients. The program helps physicians enhance the delivery of care using physician and practice evaluation tools. Individual physician's can benchmark their performance compared to national diabetic performance standards.

As in past years, Health Partners will cover the costs of NCQA audits and will work with Health Partners physicians to complete and submit their audits to NCQA for recognition. The program will be offered after the first of the year and audit slots are limited.  Please contact Lori Miller, RN at 614-546-3701 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
