DIABETES ACTION PLAN 2010 QUALITY CARE FOR DIABETES IN SCOTLAND Some of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or its onset delayed. Prevention of type 2 diabetes, and the avoidance of complications in those with the condition would be extremely cost-effective, but even more importantly would contribute greatly to quality of life. The Scottish Diabetes Research Network (SDRN) epidemiology group has found that between 2001 and 2007, mortality was higher among people with diabetes than the general population by about 10% for men and about 25% for women. The excess risk of diabetes appears to have fallen in recent years and is at least partly explained by more effective treatment of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. 13
DIABETES ACTION PLAN 2010 QUALITY CARE FOR DIABETES IN SCOTLAND The prevalence of both types of diabetes here, compared with rates in other countries, suggests the need for even stronger action in Scotland. The publication of the Quality Strategy, with its ambition for world-class healthcare, encourages us to aim for services for people with diabetes that at least match the best that can be found anywhere else in the world. The Quality Strategy for NHSScotland This Diabetes Action Plan contributes to the Scottish Government’s Quality Strategy, which sets out the measureable and achievable actions that relate to the key drivers of healthcare quality. The Institute of Medicine’s six ‘dimensions of quality’ are the key foundation of systemsbased healthcare quality improvement: • Person-centred: providing care that is responsive to individual personal preferences, needs and values and assuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions • Safe: avoiding injuries to patients from care that is intended to help them • Effective: providing services based on scientific knowledge • Efficient: avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy • Equitable: providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location or socio-economic status • Timely: reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive care and those who give care. Each of the actions set out within this Plan contains an indication of the ‘dimensions of quality’ to which it relates, in terms of the care of people with diabetes. 14
