Patient self-reported information was collected by mail on general health, diabetes, and up to five other chronic conditions. Patients with diabetes received the Seattle Diabetes Questionnaire, the 36-item Medical Outcomes Study short form (SF-36), and a validated patient satisfaction questionnaire at regular intervals. Data from self-report, clinical, pharmacy, and laboratory sources were synthesized into patient-specific feedback reports that intervention providers received before patients\u2019 visits.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014The timely delivery to primary care providers of state-of-the-art patient-feedback reports that identified patient issues and areas for improvement did not result in significant improvements in patient outcomes between the intervention and control firms.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014Outcomes in diabetic patients whose providers received synthesized patient data before visits were no better than in those receiving care from control firms.
