Abstract
Timely follow-up care is necessary to ensure proper management and reduce adverse events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Though the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has guidelines to direct care, patients do not always attend follow-up visits. The clinic where the QI project occurred has no data showing why patients do or do not come for regular follow-up care specifically for T2DM. This project aims to assess facilitators and barriers to timely ADA-guided follow-up care in adult patients with T2DM at a primary care clinic in a suburban county of Washington (WA).
