| Figure 4. Management of LDL (LDL 130 mg/dL) was a KPNW test measure in 1998, while in 1999, it is a clinical priority. The three lines illustrate corresponding quarterly KPNW improvement in LDL measurement and LDL management (defined as LDL 130 mg/dL and LDL 100 mg/dL). For the year 1998, % measured and % management with LDL 130 mg/dL included patients of all ages. To more closely match the HEDIS measure, in 1999, % management with LDL 130 mg/dL only includes patients aged 75 years and under. |
