Development of a Web-Based Registry to Support Diabetes Care in Free Medical Clinics
The United States has more than 1,000 free medical clinics. Because these clinics do not bill Medicare or Medicaid, they are not eligible for federal reimbursement for electronic health record (EHR) adoption. As a result, most do not have EHRs or electronic disease registries. A web-based diabetes registry was created with all open-source components for use in an urban free clinic to manage patients with type 2 diabetes and comorbidities.
