Pioneering Quality Improvement for Type 2 Diabetes
Less time. More impact. Making QI accessible.
What is QUEST?
QUEST: Quality Uncovered through Evaluation of practice and Solutions to Transform outcomes
QUEST is a streamlined QI program designed for busy physicians: simple steps, minimal time commitment, clear guidance from start to finish. The goal of this initiative is to assess how current practices are aligned with the Diabetes Canada Pharmacotherapy and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Guidelines. QUEST aims to:
Empower physicians to evaluate and refine their approach to type 2 diabetes care.
Deliver a flexible, evidence-based quality improvement framework for primary care that adapts seamlessly across multiple disease states.
Develop an accredited educational platform that leverages QUEST’s insights, fueling ongoing professional growth and driving better care for patients.
What Will Be Assessed
Through our data analysis collaborator, Amplify Care, QUEST will extract a specific data set from your EMR. This data will be analyzed, and a report will be generated to identify both successes and areas for improvement in diabetes care.
The analysis will focus on key variables aligned with the Diabetes Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines, helping to inform and guide quality improvement efforts.
Data analyzed will be limited to:
Total patients in practice
Percentage of patients with:
T2D
T2D+eCVD
T2D+eCVD without SGLT2 or GLP1
T2D+CKD
T2D+CKD without SGLT2 or GLP1
T2D without eGFR and uACR in the past year
What Should You Know About Participating?
Minimal Time Commitment
Total estimated time commitment: Less than 6 hours
This includes: Needs assessment questionnaires (pre and post program) x 2, contract review and data extraction coordination, report review, QI plan reflection, virtual learning session.
Supporting Accredited Program Development
QUEST is both a QA initiative and is also the foundation for building an accredited Quality Assessment program with the CFPC. As such, QUEST participants will be compensated for completing two needs assessment documents (one pre-program and one post-program).
Earn CME Credits
QUEST is a provincial QI program. Participating physicians can earn Main Pro+ credits by completing Linking Learning exercises. QUEST participants will receive two data sets to review. QUEST is aligned with the new Pharmacotherapy and CKD guidelines from Diabetes Canada, meaning there will be multiple opportunities to complete Linking Learning exercises, increasing the number of credits participants can earn.
