Family Care Partners has been notified that our practice has been selected for inclusion in the next volume of Quality Profiles: The Leadership Series which will be published in December 2009.  The Leadership Series  this year focused  on advancing population health through the use of health information technology (HIT).  FCP responded to the call for Submission of Best Practices and provided NCQA and Pfizer with information related to the use of our EMR to improve the diabetic  outcomes of our patients. 

Quality Profiles: The  Leadership Series article ” Utilization of HIT to Standardize and Improve the Quality of Care for Patients With Diabetes Mellitus”  describes how FCP  improves the outcomes of our diabetic patients though our use of our robust EMR.   The ability of our EMR to provide our clinicians with health decisions  at the time of care and the ability to  run reports allowed us achieve positive patient outcomes.  Once we receive copies of the volume, we will share it with the staff.
