Health initiative uncovers disparities in treatment
An ongoing national effort to improve health care is finding diabetics in Wisconsin are getting amputations that may have been preventable. Different people with the same conditions may not get the same health care. Analysts like Chris Queram are finding this out as they get better at measuring and comparing treatments.
