Interventions to improve the management of diabetes mellitus in primary care, outpatient and community settings

Abstract

Interventions to improve the management of diabetes mellitus in primary care, outpatient and community settings (Review)

Cross-sectional study evaluating the association between integrated care and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Dutch primary care

“…Previous research has indicated the lack of organisational capacity of Dutch primary care practices 5. No relation between clinical and professional coordination and HRQOL was observed in the present study, which seems to be inconsistent with previous studies 15 18 19 45 46. This discrepancy may be due to the fact that clinical and professional coordination have more influence on the perceived HRQOL of people with a chronic disease whereas the entire primary care practice population was included here.…”

Effect of a Nationwide Program of Educational Outreach Visits to Improve the Processes of Care for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

“…The implementation of clinical guidelines for type 2 diabetes using outreach visits resulted in an increase in the number of HBA1c tests ordered during the intervention period. These results are consistent with previous studies (8), but there is still considerable room for improvement. Despite this large-scale intervention, no HBA1c test was reimbursed for almost 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes.…”

Association between registered nurse staffing and management outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes within primary care: a cross-sectional linkage study

“…25,26 Nurses across all regulatory designations are extensively involved in activities related to chronic disease management. 10,11,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Our finding of a positive relation between the presence of 1 or more registered nurses in FHTs and clinical outcomes of patients with diabetes is consistent with results of studies conducted in other countries. 13,36 Similar findings have also been reported outside of primary care and within other disciplines.…”
