The National Committee for Quality Assurance and the American Diabetes Association has recognized Will County Medical Associates for their quality care of diabetic patients.

To provide physician groups with tools to support the delivery and recognition of consistent high quality care, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in partnership with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) have developed the Diabetes Recognition Program. This voluntary program is designed to recognize physicians and other clinicians, who use evidence-based measures and provide excellent care to their patients with diabetes.

The Diabetes Recognition Program has 10 measures which cover areas such as:

• HbA1c control
• Blood Pressure control
• LDL control
• Eye examinations
• Nephropathy Assessment
• Smoking status and cessation advice or treatment

Health care professionals who achieve this recognition demonstrate to those in the diabetes community that they are part of an elite group that is publicly recognized for its skill in providing the highest-level diabetes care.

Will County Medical Associates has been awarded 3-Year recognition in 2009  by the National Committee for Quality Assurance/American Diabetes Association Diabetes Physician Recognition Program.
