Qualidiab Focus “Establish monitoring and control systems using state-of-the-art information technology for quality assurance in diabetes care.”
Qualidiab Instruments • Quality indicators • Basic information sheet • Computer programs • Local quality circles • LA and C Quality Network • Continous Quality development
Example New cases of blindness Proliferative retinopathy HbA1c, microalbuminuria Anxiety, well being Tests request frequency Feet and eye examination Blood pressure lowering therapy at increased albumin excretion Examples of the Qualidiab Indicators Type of indicator Outcomes • True outcomes • Intermediate outcomes • Quality of life • Treatment satisfaction Procedures • Documentation • Self-monitoring • Interventions

EDUCATION Programmes and Contents Targets • Health promotion • Risk factors for CVD (risk groups) • Message to the diabetic population The community People with DM and their relatives • Continuous education programmes • Health-care organization according to the • levels of complexity • Minimal acceptable standards for • health-care and treatment The health-care team
There should be an education programme to explain to the community the importance of dieting and of striving to overcome sedentarism in order to avoid obesity and prevent the development of diabetes. Also to show the role of these interventions in the control and treatment of that disease. But this type of program should start among physicians. Elliot P. Joslin, 1925
