Include both of the following elements:
- At-risk population identified – Total stratified number of Medicare patients at risk for abnormal blood glucose; AND
- Percent of population screened – Total number and percentage of at-risk population screened for abnormal blood glucose as outlined by the US Preventive Services Task Force and/or American Diabetes Association guidelines.
