Abstract
In Brief An initiative of the Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Primary Health Care demonstrates that system-wide changes to improve care for chronically ill, underserved patients are possible and sustainable. Through the bureau’s Health Disparities Collaboratives, nearly 400 federally qualified health centers are focusing on the delivery of high quality care for people with diabetes and are testing and implementing system-wide changes using the Breakthrough Series model, the Chronic Care Model, and the Model for Improvement. This article describes that initiative and some of the results it has achieved collaboratively across the country.
