ACEI/ARB = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers; HbA_1c=hemoglobin A_1c.
^aUsed to calculate disease score. Scoring method: the chronic disease management score is calculated for patients suffering from at least 1 of the chronic diseases listed above. Each eligible condition’s maneuvers are assigned a 1 if the maneuver was followed (or 0.5 if HbA_1c test in the previous year was done only once rather than twice) or a 0 if it was not. For each condition the ratio of maneuvers followed is estimated. Finally, a simple (not weighted) average of the applicable con
dition scores is calculated to obtain the patient’s chronic disease management score. ^bTarget blood pressure for patients with diabetes is set at 130/80 mm Hg and 140/90 mm Hg for other patients.
