Abstrakt:	Researchers from Allegheny Health Network have conducted a study exploring the association between primary care providers' (PCP) treatment approaches and the clinical outcomes and costs associated with diabetes management. The study used Electronic Medical Records to extract diabetes-related metrics and ranked PCP practices based on their performance. The analysis revealed that referrals to certified diabetes care and education specialists and provider-to-provider electronic consults were higher in high-performing practices, while traditional referrals were higher in low-performing practices. Patients receiving care from lower-performing practices had higher diabetes-related care costs and were more likely to have had a diabetes-related hospital observation. The study concluded that referrals to certain specialists and e-consults were associated with better diabetes outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
