Facility ‐level variation in diabetes and blood pressure control in patients with diabetes: Findings from the Veterans Affairs national database

ConclusionsFacility‐level rates for BP control and glycemic control remain low with significant facility‐level variation. Much of this is explained by patient and facility‐level variables although 16%, 25%, and 15% variation in glycemic, BP, and combined glycemic and BP control remains unexplained.
