[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] GUIDELINE ADHERENCE AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN MEDICARE FFS PATIENTS WITH DIABETES [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN MADISON [Amount] $0 [Summary] Unless new information is obtained to modify guidelines appropriately, financial incentives to adhere tightly to recommendations could have perverse effects that might actually diminish the quality of care. Our specific aims are to: (1) examine the relationship between patients' control levels for A1c, LDL, and BP and short-term negative health outcomes (ER visits, hospitalizations, and death), and to determine whether this relationship depends on (2) the presence of comorbid congestive heart failure and chronic kidney disease, and (3) different definitions for assigning patients to providers.
