Wisconsin Diabetes Quality
Improvement Project 

The Diabetes Quality Improvement Project – called DQIP for short – is an extensive collaborative effort of Wisconsin’s Community, Migrant and Homeless Health Centers to provide the highest quality of care to people with diabetes.

Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association (exit DHS) coordinates and provides technical assistance to the DQIP for Wisconsin Community Health Centers with funding provided by the Wisconsin Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP).

The Community Health Centers use a team approach to provide diabetes care that is population-based, evidence-based and patient-centered.  Since 1998, 24 Health Center sites have implemented the Wisconsin Essential Diabetes Mellitus Care Guidelines, the Patient Electronic Care System (PECS) patient registry, and ongoing quality improvement practices to continually improve care.
