We are pleased to have an increase in diabetic lipoprotein screening, immunizations for adolescents, and initiation of prenatal care despite the difficulties encountered during the implementation phase of the electronic health record. Our 2013 goal is to achieve at least pre-implementation scores and improve going forward.
