Type 2 Diabetes Best Practices Learning Collaborative
AMGA’s Type 2 Diabetes Best Practices Learning Collaborative provides a platform for participating healthcare organizations (HCOs) to improve diabetes control and clinically meaningful weight loss through inclusive, evidence-based care for adult patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Member organizations, with support from AMGA and a team of advisors, will aim to prioritize achievement of sustained glucose control and personalized weight management to improve overall health for this high-risk population.
Through the Type 2 Diabetes Best Practices Learning Collaborative, HCOs will engage in a shared community of learning designed to accelerate system-wide transformation, address clinical inertia, sustain and scale care delivery process that are team-based, equitable, and adaptable across settings.
Organizations will need to be able to access electronic health record data to track and report measures to AMGA.
