Quality criteria/key components for high quality of diabetes management to avoid diabetes-related complications

Abstract

Aim The aim of this review shoud be to map data and to identify quality indicators for good practices for diabetes management and secondary prevention, specifically of type 2 diabetes. Methods To achieve this aim we performed the following steps: (i) a literature review on evaluation criteria, (ii) selection of quality criteria and key components for high quality of care, (iii) creation of a checklist to identify the best practice of diabetes management based on the detected criteria. Results The literature search about the quality indicators for diabetes care resulted in the following: identifying of key components and quality indicators for structure, process and outcome quality. Conclusions The set of quality criteria will be discussed and used to identify the best practice diabetes management programs for secondary prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Chronic-Care-Management Programs for Multimorbid Patients with Diabetes in Europe: A Scoping Review with the Aim to Identify the Best Practice

“…To determine the "best practice," 11 of the studies were specifically examined [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. For this purpose, the implementation of the pillars of the CCM was assessed on its own elements and then those of the checklist according to Rothe et al [8]. The detailed evaluation of the studies can be found in Table S1 in the supplementary material.…”

Disease-Management-Programs in the Field of Diabetes Mellitus with Identification of the Best Practice in Europe: A Scoping Review

“…To define best practice, it is necessary to create a valid checklist [2,6] and to name some facts of the different DMPs to show their advantages or disadvantages on their one, respectively [2, 8-10, 15, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 26, 29-35] (▶ table 3). Additionally, we answered the following questions.…”

“…Further advantages are gained by the program from Italy for it patient-centered treatment approach [32]. The UK's [35], the Netherlands' [31], and the German DMPs [15][16][17] "The Saxonian DMP (SDMP) also included structured patient education programs" [10] "[…] patient education through physicians and qualified nurses and patient information […]" [15] "Nine hours of patient education in four modules" [8] via healthcare-workers, education programs for health-care workers [32] Continued ▶table 3 Checklist to characterize included European DMPs by country [6]. Continued appointments, patient training and self-regulation.…”

“…All programs and studies were evaluated using a checklist prepared by Rothe et al [2,6]. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers.…”

Evaluating the Impact of the Diabetes Mellitus Strategy for the National Health System: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis

“…Several types of indicators have been suggested for evaluating the quality of care for DM, typically being process and outcomes indicators. Major limb amputations, myocardial infarctions or strokes are called “endpoints” of the natural history as well as of the clinical course of the disease [ 20 ]. Moreover, information concerning these outcomes can be easily obtained from hospital discharge registries.…”
