AB  - Rates of adherence to 2 quality measures, modeled after Heathcare Effectiveness 
      Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures, were evaluated in a pediatric 
      population in a convenient care (retail medicine) clinic setting. The measures 
      were appropriate testing for children with pharyngitis and appropriate treatment 
      for children with upper-respiratory infection (URI). The convenient care clinic 
      (CCC) achieved a ranking above the HEDIS 90th percentile for the pharyngitis 
      measure and approximately midway between the 50th and 90th percentiles for the 
      URI measure for the 2007 reporting period. This represents the third major study 
      reporting quality of care for pharyngitis in a CCC setting and the first study 
      for URIs. Other aspects of quality--namely access, follow-up, and equity--are 
      also reported on for the population in question.
