Turn Real-World Insight Into Measurable Change

The T1DX-QI offers research partners a unique opportunity to support measurable improvements in diabetes care while generating real-world insight. 

 

Through the collaborative, endocrinology centers across the U.S. securely contribute de-identified electronic health record data to a centralized platform. This shared data is analyzed, allowing centers to benchmark performance and identify opportunities for improvement. 

 

For research partners, this environment creates a powerful setting to evaluate how new technologies, tools, and care strategies perform in everyday clinical settings. 

 

By partnering on targeted quality improvement initiatives, organizations can help accelerate the adoption of effective practices while learning how innovations translate into real-world care. 

"We are incredibly grateful to partner with T1D Exchange across several research projects. Partnering with the T1D Exchange allowed us to include the perspectives of individuals with type 1 diabetes across the U.S. to inform our understanding of diabetes distress. "
