Driving Improvement in Real-World Care

T1DX-QI centers securely contribute de-identified data that becomes shared evidence across the network, helping centers see what’s working, identify opportunities, and take action. This collective insight enables centers to set goals, test and refine approaches, and track progress toward better care — from increasing technology use to improving screening and follow-up — while learning from one another through proven strategies and real-world successes.

Improvement Initiatives

Technology Adoption

Increasing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID).

Equitable Access

Reducing disparities across racial and ethnic groups.

Care Processes

Improving screening, follow-up practices, and coordination.

Learning Sessions

Sharing what works is a core part of the T1DX-QI. Through regular Learning Sessions, care teams from across the network come together to review data, learn improvement methods, and exchange strategies that can strengthen care for people living with diabetes.

These sessions help accelerate how quickly successful practices spread across centers — turning insights into real-world change.

Change Packages

Change packages document strategies that have worked in real clinical settings.

They help centers replicate successful improvements and apply them across care environments.

Data and Benchmarking Platform

The T1DX-QI uses a secure data platform that allows participating centers to share de-identified electronic health record data and learn from one another. Centers can benchmark performance across shared measures and access resources that highlight successful improvement strategies.
