Improve blood pressure recording for patients with diabetes
About this activity
Use the QI template below to better record blood pressure (BP) for patients with diabetes and meet the requirements for the PIP QI Incentive.
Goal
Increase the percentage of patients with diabetes who have had a BP recorded in the past 6 months.
Measures
POLAR measure: Percentage of active patients with diabetes who have had a BP recorded in the past 6 months.
Improvement ideas
- Use POLAR to identify patients with diabetes who have not had blood pressure recorded in the past 6 months. To do this, log into POLAR and open the PIP QI Report under the reports section
- Invite them in for a GPCCMP or review if/when due. (BP check, also check HbA1C and other care/tests as needed)
- Incorporate use of resources to enhance care.
