August 2, 2021

From the latest results, our Centers of Excellence show continued performance improvement.

Affecting millions of lives across the Southeast and nationally, COSEHQ engages practicing clinicians in the evidence-based management of cardiovascular and chronic diseases, using real-time data from the front lines to identify care gaps.

COSEHQ’s Centers of Excellence are networked diverse Southeastern community practices engaged in continuous data-driven quality improvement. The Centers’ quality performance period from 1/1/2020-6/30/2021 represents over 2,500 Southeastern community-based physicians and 371,122 active patients of which 50% are diagnosed with hypertension and 18% with diabetes.  Seventy percent of the patients diagnosed with hypertension met a blood pressure benchmark of <140/90mm Hg, compared to a national average of 43.7% and 77% of patients diagnosed with diabetes had an HbA1c <8%.  The Centers continue to improve cardiovascular health with a focused movement towards the 2017 ACC/AHA Hypertension Guidelines blood pressure target goal of 130/80 mmHg.
