Consumer Reports teamed up with Minnesota Community Management, a non-profit group that is one of the top in healthcare ratings groups in Minnesota.

The ratings are based on quantifiable measures collected by the practices. The scores are based on the percentage of patients who achieve targets for management of the conditions, such as controlling blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels.

Consumer Reports published similar ratings for physician groups in Massachusetts in May. The ratings are a result of a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The grant is part of a RWJF initiative to lift the overall quality of healthcare in 16 targeted communities, including Massachusetts and Minnesota.
