- Information Technology - Goal: Vermont will have a Chronic Care Information System(CCIS) that supports statewide implementation of the Blueprint for both individual and population-based care management.

By March 2008, increase the percentage of Vermonters age 18+ with diabetes who receive formal diabetes education from 45 percent in 2003 to 60 percent. By 2008, increase to 97 percent the proportion of people with diabetes in care who measure their blood sugar at least once per week.
