Abstract
Clinical performance monitoring data on processes of care from a 3-year period were used to assess whether preventive foot care was associated with improved health outcomes in diabetes mellitus patients. Preventive foot care as well as sensory and pedal-pulse examinations were associated with reduced rates of Lower extremity amputation. It is believed that an administrative focus, resource direction, and improvement in process monitoring will lead to better patient outcomes.
