NCQA Awards Mercy Primary Care Achievement of
Diabetes Physician Recognition Program

Mercy Primary Care Center announced that Dr. Margaret Meyers, M.D., and Dr. Pamela Williams, M.D. have been awarded Recognition for the National Committee for Quality Assurance and American Diabetes Association Diabetes Physician Recognition Program. NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality.

NCQA - ADA Diabetes awardNCQA, in partnership with the American Diabetes Association, developed the Diabetes Physician Recognition Program to recognize physicians who have met standards demonstrating delivery of high-quality care to patients with diabetes. The NCQA/ADA Diabetes Physician Recognition Program is a voluntary effort to identify physicians who provide diabetes care consistent with the comprehensive diabetes care measures within the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), ADA’s Standards of Medical Care and the Diabetes Quality Improvement Project.

"Physicians who earn recognition through the Diabetes Physician Recognition Program have an established track record of providing excellent diabetes care,” said John Buse, M.D., PhD, President, Medicine & Science, American Diabetes Association. “The list of recognized doctors is the first place to look if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with diabetes."

Physicians who achieve DPRP Recognition show their peers, patients and others in the Diabetes community that they are part of an elite group that is publicly recognized for its skill in providing the highest-level diabetes care. The Recognition Programs were developed to help physicians and practices support the delivery of high-quality care.
