The NCQA’s Diabetes Recognition Program (DRP) recognizes clinicians and group practices for the delivery of quality ambulatory care to persons who have diabetes. These requirements were selected based on the scientific evidence supporting their relevancy to improve care for people with diabetes, as supported by the ADA Standards of Medical Care for People with Diabetes Mellitus (Appendix 1). Clinicians who demonstrate high quality performance based on these key standards are expected to have fewer patients who develop the serious complications of diabetes, such as kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, amputations and blindness.
The NCQA believes that by maintaining this program and encouraging clinicians to achieve recognition, care given to patients with diabetes will improve. DRP requirements were selected based on scientific evidence supporting their relevancy to improve care for people with diabetes. Clinicians who develop high quality performance-based on these key requirements will help their patients avoid additional complications from diabetes. The program focuses on care for people with diabetes, defined as the following categories of diagnoses:
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetic polyneuropathy
Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic cataract
Individual clinicians and group practices voluntarily apply for recognition by submitting information on their patients for the following requirements:
