2 Blood Sugar Testing for Adults with Diabetes Average 92.5% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 94.5% GMP Network 93.8% Henry Ford Medical Group 93.2% Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) 92.3% IHA 94.7% McLaren Physician Partners 93.0% MedNetOne 92.4% Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) 91.2% Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians 93.1% 93.1% 92.6% 92.2% University of Michigan Medical Group 95.0% (See brief explanation on next page) 2

3 Blood Sugar Testing for Adults with Diabetes The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at properly testing blood sugar for patients 18 to 75 years old with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). If you have diabetes, testing your blood sugar level tells you and your doctor how well your diabetes is controlled. Either very high or very low blood sugar is harmful to your body. Ask your doctor if you are due for a blood test called a hemoglobin A1c. This test gives a picture of the average blood sugar control in the past two to three months. Most patients with diabetes should have a hemoglobin A1c test twice or more each year. 3

4 Blood Sugar Control for Adults with Diabetes (< 8) Average 60.3% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 60.6% GMP Network 59.7% Henry Ford Medical Group 60.9% Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA 63.3% 63.9% McLaren Physician Partners 59.0% MedNetOne 60.6% Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical 59.4% 59.0% 59.4% The Physician Alliance United Physicians 62.1% 62.9% University of Michigan Medical Group 65.3% (See brief explanation on next page) 4

5 Blood Sugar Control for Adults with Diabetes (< 8) The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at controlling blood sugar for patients 18 to 75 years old with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Either very high or very low blood sugar is harmful to your body. Controlling your blood sugar level is important to avoid complications like blindness, loss of limbs, kidney failure, heart attack, or stroke. A test called "Hemoglobin A1c" is the most common test used to measure your blood sugar level. Talk to your doctor about your blood sugar level and the things you can do to keep your blood sugar level under control, including making healthy food choices, staying active and finding healthy ways to cope with stress. Note that on the previous page, patients without a blood sugar test are assumed not to be in control. When including only patients for whom a test is available, rates of control were 20 percentage points higher. This demonstrates the importance of every patient with diabetes getting tested twice annually. For more information, visit the American Diabetes Association website at diabetes.org/. 5

6 Managing Kidney Function for Adults with Diabetes Average 90.9% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 92.5% GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group 91.5% 91.4% Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) 89.0% IHA 94.0% McLaren Physician Partners 89.4% MedNetOne 91.1% Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians 92.1% 91.9% 91.5% 90.7% 92.0% University of Michigan Medical Group 87.7% (See brief explanation on next page) 6

7 Managing Kidney Function for Adults with Diabetes The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at testing kidney health for adults with diabetes. High blood sugar from diabetes is harmful to kidneys. Damage to kidneys can be prevented if found and treated in early stages. A simple urine test can detect problems with kidney function; if you are already being treated for kidney problems, the test is not needed. Ask your doctor if you are due for this test and what things you can do to prevent damage to your kidneys. 7

8 Eye Exam for Adults with Diabetes Average 56.5% Accountable Healthcare Advantage GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians 60.6% 55.5% 55.4% 54.7% 66.8% 53.6% 54.4% 56.8% 57.1% 58.2% 53.8% 57.4% University of Michigan Medical Group 74.9% (See brief explanation on next page) 8

9 Eye Exam for Adults with Diabetes The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at ensuring an appropriate eye exam was performed for patients 18 to 75 years old with diabetes (type 1 and type 2). High blood sugar from diabetes is harmful to eyes and can even lead to blindness. Damage to eyes can be prevented if found and treated in early stages. An eye exam, every one to two years, in which the eyes are dilated with eye drops is needed; a simple exam with a light is not enough. Ask your doctor if you are due for a dilated eye exam and what things you can do to prevent damage to your eyes. 9

11 Measuring Adult Body Mass Index Accountable Healthcare Advantage GMP Network 94.8% 95.3% Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) 89.5% 90.2% IHA 96.2% McLaren Physician Partners 94.6% MedNetOne 88.6% Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group 92.0% 92.7% 93.3% 92.5% 94.3% 92.5% (See brief explanation on next page) 11

12 Measuring Adult Body Mass Index The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show the percentage of adult patients 18 to 64 years old for each PO whose doctor reported the patient's BMI (Body Mass Index). To find out your BMI, or Body Mass Index, your health care provider considers your weight and height. On-line calculators are available; for example, see the website for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at: mi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html Being overweight or obese can lead to health problems. Generally, a BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight, between 18.5 and 24.9 is a normal or healthy weight, 25.0 to 29.9 is overweight and 30.0 and above is considered to be obese. 12

13 Breast Cancer Screening Average 78.9% Accountable Healthcare Advantage GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group (See brief explanation on next page) 79.2% 77.9% 83.5% 79.4% 83.5% 74.9% 68.9% 78.9% 79.2% 73.6% 78.0% 79.4% 85.3% 13

18 Colon Cancer Screening The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at ensuring adults between the ages of 50 to 75 years old are screened for colon cancer. Checking adults 50 to 75 years old for colon cancer helps save lives. When cancer is found early, there is a much better chance it can be successfully treated. There are many ways to check for colon cancer, such as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or collection of fecal matter for testing. Ask your doctor if you are due for a colon cancer test and which test is right for you. It is also important to tell to your doctor if your family has a history of colon cancer. 18

19 ANTIBIOTIC USE

20 Avoiding Use of Antibiotics for Adults with Bronchitis Average 34.8% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 38.1% GMP Network 33.2% Henry Ford Medical Group 51.9% Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) 33.7% IHA 39.4% McLaren Physician Partners 28.6% MedNetOne 23.2% Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) 37.6% Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians 28.9% 27.6% 31.8% 35.6% University of Michigan Medical Group 42.8% (See brief explanation on next page) 20

21 Avoiding Use of Antibiotics for Adults with Bronchitis The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO did in Calendar Year 2017 at appropriately using antibiotic prescriptions for adults 18 to 64 years old with bronchitis. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages in the lungs. Bronchitis is usually caused by viruses that can't be cured with antibiotics. Antibiotics are strong medicines, but they don't cure everything. Taking antibiotics when you don't need them increases the growth and spread of antibioticresistant bacteria. Talk to your doctor about other things you can do to feel better. 21

22 Avoiding Use of Antibiotics for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection Average 90.3% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 83.3% GMP Network 51.7% Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group 86.6% 91.9% 94.8% 87.7% 87.8% 89.0% 84.0% 76.8% 92.4% 93.9% 90.8% (See brief explanation on next page) 22

23 Avoiding Use of Antibiotics for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO did in Calendar Year 2017 at appropriately using antibiotic prescriptions for children 3 months to 18 years old with upper respiratory infections. A child with a cold probably has a virus. Usually, no antibiotic medication is needed. Antibiotics do not work for viruses; antibiotics strictly fight bacteria. If antibiotics are taken when not needed, they may not work as well the next time. Talk to your doctor about other ways to make your child feel better. 23

24 Testing Children for Throat Infection Average 88.9% Accountable Healthcare Advantage GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group 76.8% 83.8% 80.1% Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA 94.0% 93.8% McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians 83.1% 89.2% 89.4% 84.4% Olympia Medical 68.8% The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group 85.9% 90.9% 91.1% (See brief explanation on next page) 24

25 Testing Children for Throat Infection The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO did in Calendar Year 2017 at appropriately testing for strep and using antibiotics prescriptions for children 2 to 18 years old with throat infections. A child who has a sore throat should be tested for streptococcus (strep) before using antibiotics. This tells the doctor if there is a strep infection and whether or not antibiotics are needed. Without the test for strep, your child may be given an antibiotic when it is not needed. If antibiotics are taken when not needed, they may not work as well the next time. Talk to your doctor about other ways to make your child feel better. 25

26 CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND YOUNG ADULT HEALTH CARE

27 Well Child Visits for Children 15 months Old Average 87.6% Accountable Healthcare Advantage GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group 84.4% 78.6% 81.5% 87.4% 96.8% 70.9% 83.7% 84.9% 82.1% 79.5% 85.5% 88.7% 94.0% (See brief explanation on next page) 27

28 Well Child Visits for Children 15 months Old The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO and their patients did in Calendar Year 2017 at seeing children from birth to 15 months old for at least six well child visits. Children should have at least six well child visits from birth until they reach 15 months of age. A well child visit is important so your child's doctor can keep your child in good health by checking his/her growth and development and give you advice specific to the age of your child. Each visit is a chance to work with your child's doctor as part of a team, to focus on your child and discuss ways to promote your child's growth and development. Well child visits should also provide important information and guidance for you as a parent. 28

38 Chlamydia Screening for Females Years Old The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show how well physicians in each PO did in Calendar Year 2017 at yearly screening of appropriate females aged 16 to 24 years for Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease. Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. This infection is easily spread because it often causes no symptoms and may be unknowingly passed to sexual partners. It is not easy to tell if you are infected with chlamydia since symptoms are not always apparent, so screening is important. Sexual partners should also be treated. In Michigan, it is legal for the doctor to prescribe treatment for the sexual partners of their patients. 38

39 Weight Assessment for Children and Adolescents Average 89.5% Accountable Healthcare Advantage 93.3% GMP Network Henry Ford Medical Group Huron Valley Physicians Association (HVPA) IHA McLaren Physician Partners MedNetOne Oakland Physician Network Services (OPNS) Oakland Southfield Physicians Olympia Medical The Physician Alliance United Physicians University of Michigan Medical Group 80.0% 89.3% 87.0% 98.1% 89.7% 81.0% 82.4% 89.9% 90.1% 86.8% 91.5% 94.1% (See brief explanation on next page) 39

40 Weight Assessment for Children and Adolescents The PO Performance Report rates on the previous page show the percentage of children and adolescents 3 to 17 years old for each PO whose doctor reported their BMI (Body Mass Index). To find out your child s BMI, or Body Mass Index, your child s health care provider weighs your child and measures how tall your child is and then divides your child s weight by his/her height and compares it to other children who are the same age is your child. Being overweight or obese can lead to health problems. 40

Most people who see a health care provider with a new backache (also known as acute low back pain) will just get better with or without treatment, usually within a few days. X-rays and other diagnostic tests, such as MRIs or CT scans seldom provide information that would change treatment. Most people with a new backache should avoid getting an X- ray, MRI or CT scan. Talk to your doctor about ways to feel better and to avoid pain in the future. 45
