Diabetes Care Delivery and Outcomes by Race and Ethnicity: Evaluation of an Enhanced Primary Care Practice Model in the US Upper Midwest.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Enhanced Primary Care Diabetes (EPCD) model is nurse led and leverages interdisciplinary support to improve diabetes quality indicators. The model has been found to be effective overall; however, because narrowing health disparities is a key objective, we aimed to assess differential effectiveness of the model among various racial and ethnic groups.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study compared the time to meeting the D5, a publicly reported quality measure (composite indicator of glycemic and blood pressure control, aspirin use for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, statin use, and documented abstinence from tobacco use), after enrollment in the EPCD program by Black, Hispanic/Latine, and Asian patients compared with White patients with diabetes
