"Clinical inertia" has been used to describe the delay in intensification of type 2 diabetes treatment among patients with poor glycemic control. Previous studies may have exaggerated prevalence clinical inertia by failing adequately monitor drug dose changes and nonmedication interventions. This project evaluated therapy hemoglobin A1c (A1C) goal attainment newly diagnosed when metformin monotherapy failed.The electronic health record at Cleveland Clinic was identify between 2005 2013 who...
