Patients with diverticulitis often attempt to control their diet with a particular focus on avoiding nuts and seeds. However, whether dietary patterns or dietary intake of nuts and seeds are associated with diverticulitis risk is poorly studied, particularly in women.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are prevalent chronic illnesses, are leading causes of mortality and morbidity, and result in substantial public health burden. Timely identification and appropriate management of diabetes can help reduce adverse consequences of diabetes. The American College of Physicians (ACP) embraces performance measurement as a means to improve quality of care but believes that a performance measure must be methodologically sound and evidence-based in order to be considered for inclusion in payment, accountability, or reporting programs. These principles are critical given the potential impact on physician administrative work, reputation, and reimbursement and to prevent unintended consequences for patient care. To help improve performance measurement and reduce burden, the ACP Performance Measurement Committee (PMC) reviews performance measures using a rigorous process to recognize high-quality measures and address gaps and areas for improvement. In this article, the PMC presents its review of 14 current performance measures for diabetes that are relevant to internal medicine. The PMC supports kidney health evaluation at the individual and group practice levels, hemoglobin A1c control at the health plan level, eye examination at the health plan level, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin-receptor blocker therapy at the individual physician level.

359. Sins of Omission: Model-Based Estimates of the Health Effects of Excluding Pregnant Participants From Randomized Controlled Trials.

360. Empowering Physicians Through Collective Action: A Position Paper From the American College of Physicians.
Physicians are increasingly frustrated with the nation's health care system. The erosion of the patient-physician relationship, diminished clinical independence, the mounting burden of administrative tasks, and the growing influence of nonclinicians in the health care system have left many physicians disempowered, demoralized, and burned out. As a result, physicians, most of whom are employed by hospitals, health systems, and other organizations, are exploring collective action to enhance their ability to deliver high-quality care to patients, regain control of their profession, and improve their well-being. In this position paper, the American College of Physicians offers recommendations on how physicians can become effective advocates for their patients and their profession through advocacy, the organized medical staff, responsible collective bargaining, and other means.
