Improving Compliance with Screening of Diabetic Patients for Microalbuminuria in Primary Care Practice

چکیده
Studies showed suboptimal compliance rate of primary care physicians with microalbuminuria screening. This study evaluated impact of electronic medical records (EMR) and computerized physicians reminders on compliance rate and showed small to modest improvement. Combining EMR with quality control monitoring has significantly improved compliance [OR 1.556, 95% CI 1.251-1.935, P = 0.006].
