Clinical outcomes¹ by provider type. Cancer screening metrics for colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer and measures of diabetes and blood pressure control based on provider type—faculty vs. resident. Cancer screening measurements represent percentage of patients screened within the age-appropriate time interval. Diabetes control measurements represent percentage of patients with a %A1C less than 9%. Hypertension control measurements represent percentage of patients with a blood pressure less than 140/90. ¹Cancer screening rates were determined by the presence of a billed screening test appropriate for the age of the patient. Diabetes control was determined by a %A1C of less than 9%. Hypertension control was determined by a blood pressure less than 140/90. ²p values derived using a chi-squared test. ³National averages for clinical outcomes are as follows: Colorectal cancer screening 63%,²⁵ breast cancer screening 73%,²⁵ cervical cancer screening 81%,²⁵ diabetes control 70%,²⁶ hypertension control 24% (270).
