Abstract: The article focuses on a study which analyzes the impact of performance-improvement (PI)-based continuing medical education (CME) on the clinical care and outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. Results suggest that self-assessment, improvement planning, implementation based on review of one's own data, and reassessment of the success of the improvement plan contribute to improvements in patient health. It also cites the benefits of clinicians from the PI-CME.
