Brenner, Family Health Care – South Sioux Clinic, South Sioux City, NE has received Recognition from the Diabetes Recognition Program for providing quality care to his patients with diabetes.
To receive recognition Dr. Brenner submitted data that demonstrates performance that meets the program’s key diabetes care measures. These measures include eye exams, blood pressure tests, nutrition therapy and patient satisfaction. When people with diabetes receive quality care as outlined by these measures, they are less likely to suffer complications such as heart attacks, stroke, blindness, kidney disease and amputations.
The Diabetes Recognition Program was designed to improve the quality of care that patients with diabetes receive by recognizing clinicians who deliver quality diabetes care and by motivating other clinicians to document and improve their delivery of diabetes care. Clinicians who earn recognition through the Diabetes Recognition Program have an established track record of providing excellent diabetes care.
