Five Critical Data Points to Collect in Diabetes Optimal medical therapy (OMT) is a product that is defined by concurrent achievement of five quality measures for diabetes. Minnesota measures these five variables for medical provider groups and reports them to the public. I am aware of no other state that does that. The best care is the least expensive care. Notice that Medicare costs in Minnesota are a fraction of what they are in other states. The percentage of patients who achieve OMT using our protocol will determine how well we do with our clinical and financial outcomes. Here are the defining variables.
These secondary measures must be coupled with primary lifestyle optimization prevention measures to achieve much better outcomes. Bar none!
Of course lifestyle measures are important. There are best practices in that space as well.
Yup!
