About The Study: An electronic medical record diabetes screening program in an urban emergency department identified a substantial number of patients with undiagnosed prediabetes and type 2 diabetes or undermanaged disease, particularly racial and ethnic minority individuals and low-income patients. Questions remain including whether this approach could be useful in emergency departments in similar urban settings or rural communities and whether targeting outreach to those with higher hemoglobin A1c levels will be more cost-effective.
