Relation of the Networks Formed by Diabetic Patients Sharing Physicians With Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations

Conclusions: Networks of diabetic patients sharing all the same physicians were associated with decreased ED visits and hospitalizations. Encouraging diabetic patients to find a provider they like and trust and to stay in the provider’s care may help reduce the risks of adverse events. Physicians building loyalty among their patients may reduce their patients’ risks.
