Our Aim

• Heartland Community Health Clinic will redesign
  its system
• to provide improved care for our patients with
  diabetes.
• We will accomplish this through implementation of
  the six
• Components of the Care Model. This will be
  evidenced by
• - At least 90 of our patients receiving at least
  2 HgbA1cs three months apart within one year
• - An average HgbA1c less than 70
• - At least 70 of our patients will have
  documented self-management goals
• - At least 75 of our patients 55yrs and older
  will have current prescriptions for aspirin
• - At least 70 of our patients will have
  BPlt130/80
• - At least 70 of our patients will have LDLlt100

Population of Focus

• During the Collaborative, we will focus on the
  patients of
• one provider, Dr. Virginia Yip, at the Heartland
  Community
• Health Clinic South site. This includes
  approximately 125
• patients with diabetes who have been identified
  as active
• clinic patients of Dr. Yip.
