About Us
Who are we?
The ADA's Diabetes Primary Care Alliance is made up of our partner networks and organizations that represent primary care practices.
The alliance is a joint collaboration between the ADA and DARTNet Institute that provides opportunities for primary care health professionals to engage in joint research projects, quality improvement (QI) activities, and educational materials. These opportunities span the country and translate our knowledge on diabetes care into action to improve the health outcomes for people living with diabetes.
The ADA is the global leader in diabetes care and publishes the Standards of Care in Diabetes (Standards of Care) annually, which offers clinicians guidance on the latest care standards. Despite many new treatments and technologies, diabetes outcomes have not improved substantially in the last decade. Utilizing dissemination and implementation of science strategies, the alliance helps practices implement changes that drive better care at scale.
DARTNet Institute, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, represents practices and practice-based research networks (PBRNs). It supports QI initiatives and research across the nation and promotes sustainable measures toward enhancing the health care.
