“…A performance rate of 97.0% for at least one HbA1c test was high compared with a rate of 70–91% described in recent US studies using administrative data [5–11] and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) report [2], and compared with 92–97% found in population‐based studies in the UK [3,12,19]. Our results, however, could be overestimated as the patients were limited to those who received medical care every month during the study period.…”

“…We selected three process indicators for quality of diabetes care: (1) frequency of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing; (2) annual eye examination rate; and (3) annual nephropathy screening rate, based on the recommendations of JDS [13] and American Diabetes Association (ADA) standards [1] that were valid as of May 2006. A number of previous studies have accepted the frequency of HbA1c testing as a process indicator for blood glucose control [3–12], although the JDS guidelines do not state the recommended frequency of HbA1c testing. Hence, we defined ‘≥4 HbA1c testing during the study period’ as an indicator of good performance, based on the ADA recommendation of HbA1c testing every 3 months for unstable patients [1].…”
