Quarterly Forums at Fellowship Dallas, 9330 North Central Expressway,

These grand rounds coincide with the launch of a collaborative
quality improvement project called “Diabetes INSIDE” with the
American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Intelligent Medical Decisions,
Inc. (iMD), which aims to identify patients for earlier intervention and
better management of Type 2 diabetes. Parkland is one of only three
sites in the U.S. selected to participate in this project, and approximately
3,000 Parkland patients could be impacted by the program.
