Achieve National HEDIS 90th Percentile (“A Grade”) Targets:
75% of hypertensive patients with blood pressure controlled: <140/90 mm Hg

71% of diabetic patients with blood sugar controlled: HbA1c <8
59% of diabetic patients with lipids controlled: LDL-C < 100 mg/dL

Learning objectives:

1)  Understanding of the benefits and challenges of emerging information technology solutions that address the management of CHF and Diabetes.
