  10. Purposes of the Project • To identify strengths and weaknesses at clinic level at the Diabetes Association of Jamaica. • To identify priority areas for improvement. II Workshop on Quality of Diabetes Care, Miami, May 2003

  11. Data-Collection Methodology • Data was collected in two clinics (Kingston and St. Thomas). • Data was collected from April 2002 to March 2003. • 297 dockets were reviewed. Selection of dockets was as follows: • Every 3rd docket of the total 4000 existing dockets were selected for review (7.4% of all dockets.) • Patients who have died were excluded. • Laboratory and physical exams data were recorded by the examining physician. II Workshop on Quality of Diabetes Care, Miami, May 2003

  12. Limitations • No proper referral system in place, so dockets do not contain all the information required for the study. • No random docket selection methodology was followed. • No data-gathering quality control was in place. • Questionnaire needs to be revised because there is some ambiguity.

Summary • Approximate male/female ratio: 6:4. • Majority of cases are Type 2 Diabetes. • Of those patients with glucose control, more than 60% have levels above normal, according to the standards of this study. • Though information on A1c control is limited, it seems that more than 60% of them have A1c levels below 9.5 II Workshop on Quality of Diabetes Care, Miami, May 2003

  31. Summary • Poor data-recording of family history of diabetes, smoking, drinking, and other lifestyles. • Lack of information on medical history for type of patients (new/old), complications, previous hospital admission, etc.; more is needed. • Diabetes exams (eye, dental, foot, renal, cholesterol, etc.) are poorly recorded. • Lack of resources for self-patient glucose testing. II Workshop on Quality of Diabetes Care, Miami, May 2003

  32. Recommendations • Study methodology needs to be reviewed. • Standards for FBG and A1c need to be reviewed. • The recording of information needs to be improved • More emphasis needs to be placed on routine exams. • Other information needs to be included, such as admissions, complications, type of patient (new/old), and how long they have had diabetes. • Information on compliance needed. • Need to design a front sheet for recording basic patient information.
