Inequities in health care delivery and outcomes continue to exist in the field of medicine, despite increased awareness of racial and ethnic inequities. To inform future research on the barriers to care and potential interventions to improve diabetes care for individuals from all backgrounds, it is important to use large cohorts to identify these disparities. T1D Exchange QI (T1DX-QI) is a population-based cohort with twelve national clinics engaged in data sharing and quality improvement (QI) methods to drive system changes.
