What Will QUEST Assess?
Together, these data points create a focused, guideline-aligned view of your diabetes population—linking diagnosis, risk stratification, monitoring, and treatment. This ensures that quality improvement efforts are not only data-driven, but also clinically meaningful, measurable, and directly tied to better patient outcomes.
Percentage of patients with:
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
T2D at A1C target
T2D + established cardiovascular disease (eCVD)
T2D + eCVD treated with SGLT2 or GLP1
T2D + Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
T2D + CKD treated with SGLT2 or GLP1
T2D with eGFR and uACR testing in the past 12 months
Data Privacy and Protection
The data used in QUEST is fully de-identified to ensure that patient privacy is protected.
This means that all personally identifiable information, such as names, addresses, and health card numbers, is removed before any analysis is conducted. Only aggregate, de-identified data is used in reporting and evaluation, ensuring that individual patients cannot be identified at any stage of the process.
Ensuring the confidentiality and secure handling of data is our top priority.
QUEST is made possible through support by Boehringer Ingelheim Canada.
