Web Site Hopes to Activate Diabetes Patients in New York
John Commins, for HealthLeaders Media, December 15, 2009
Using the tracking program, HHC has increased the number of patients who have achieved healthy levels of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. In 2008, HHC diabetic patients achieved better quality outcomes than those achieved at the state or national level in 2007.
The HHC diabetic patient population is 59% female and 41% male. Approximately 44% are Latinos, 35% black, 5% Caucasian, 4% Asian, and 13% are other ethnicities.
