NCT01009528

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether electronic feedback to general practitioners on quality of Type 2-Diabetes care increases the quality of care measured on process and outcome measures contained in the national guidelines. Effect evaluation will be performed using a mixed method design.
