OBJECTIVE - With publication of the Diabetes Quality Improvement Project (DQIP) measures, the Indian Health Service National Diabetes Program applied the DQIP format to its IHS Diabetes Care and Outcomes Audit for comparison and benchmarks.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - since 1986 the IHS Diabetes Care and Outcomes Audit has been conducted by medical record review in >75% of IHS and tribal facilities. Each year systematic random sample of charts is drawn from local diabetes registries. Chart reviews are conducted by trained professionals according to standard definitions and instructions. Abstracted data are entered into a microcomputer-based epidemiologic software package. Local, regional, and national rates are constructed for each item. During the period 1995-1997, 150 facilities submitted data for compilation, representing participation from all 12 IHS administrative regions. The IHS Diabetes Care and Outcomes Audit collected virtually all of the DQIP measures, with the exception of LDL cholesterol (which was added to the record review in 1998).RESULTS - In 1995, 1996, and 1997, a total of 9,557, 9,985, and 9,626 individuals, respectively, were included in the total IHS audit sample. The reviews for 1995, 1996, and 1997 revealed that of all subjects: 55, 65, and 80%, respectively, had more than one HbA(1c) test during the year (P < 0.001); 42, 38, and 34%, respectively, had a high-risk HbA(1c) (>9.5%) (P < 0.001); 83, 81, and 84%, respectively, were tested for macroproteinuria (P < 0.11) and 16, 17, and 23%, respectively, were tested for microproteinuria (P < 0.001); total cholesterol was assessed in 80, 81, and 85%, respectively (P < 0.001), and corresponding proportions of those with values
