Brief Summary

In order to assess more completely the levels of diabetes care delivered in Taiwan, we now have nationally standardized performance measures that can evaluate quality of diabetes care accurately and reliably. These performance measures were seriously reviewed and discussed in the aspects of their practicability, feasibility and compliancy, through a series of nation-wide consensus meetings by a number of multidisciplinary professionals of Taiwan Diabetes Care Teams ( TDCTs ), before delivering into the clinical settings ( 10 ). Conceptually, these measures will enhance uptake of research into practice and may ultimately improve diabetes care and clinical outcomes. Along with the serial developments mentioned above, the BNHI ( the sole healthcare insurance organization in Taiwan ) has been fully involved, from the very beginning, in the formation and development of these performance measures which have totally been included in the development of the Diabetes Case Management Program ( DCMP ) 2001 later on. The DCMP 2001 is a unique program that has been delivered into the nation-wide clinical practices since Dec. 2001 in Taiwan. It has linked the quality of diabetes care to the monthly income ( reimbursed from BNHI ) of the registered clinical diabetes educators ( i.e., physicians, nurses and dietitians ) for enhancing and assuring the complete implementation of these performance measures in diabetes care. It has been recognized that a consensus on measures at national level could provide a method for assessing care within and across healthcare settings while providing a meaningful mechanism for quality improvement. In this proposal, we are going to develop the Diabetes Quality Improvement Program ( DQIP ) based on the DCMP 2001 in Taiwan. Initially, we are going to establish the continuous diabetes quality monitoring system and then to evaluate the (1) the lifestyles and eating habits and dietary compositions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (2)The relationships between lifestyles and eating habits and dietary compositions in diabesity.
