diabetes program recognizes sefton

The National Committee for Quality Assurance and the American Diabetes Association announced that Peter V. Sefton, M.D., of the Lakeshore Clinic in Bothell has received recognition from the Diabetes Physician Recognition Program for providing quality care to his patients with diabetes.

The Diabetes Physician Recognition Program was designed to improve the quality of care that patients with diabetes receive by recognizing physicians who deliver quality diabetes care, and by motivating other physicians to document and improve their delivery of diabetes care. To receive recognition, which is valid for three years, Sefton submitted data that demonstrates performance that meets the program’s key diabetes-care measures. These measures include eye exams, blood-pressure tests, nutrition therapy, patient satisfaction and more.
