Action needed
Review the Quality Measure Resource Guide available on EmblemHealth's Quality Improvement website to understand coding guidance for diabetes-related quality gap closure. Consider implementing systematic tracking of recommended diabetes screenings (A1C, kidney function, ankle-brachial index, retinal exams, cholesterol, blood pressure) to improve quality measure performance.
