The measurements this year are:

  • Controlling High Blood Pressure
  • Colorectal Cancer Screening
  • Hemoglobin A1c Control for Patients with Diabetes
  • Blood Pressure Control for Patients with Diabetes
  • Eye Exam for Patients with Diabetes
  • Transitions of Care
  • Cervical Cancer Screening

  • Immunizations for Adolescents
  • Lead Screening in Children
  • Prenatal and Postpartum Care
  • Weight Assessment and Counseling for Nutrition and Counseling for Physical Activity for Children and Adolescents
