Outpatient management / ambulatory care
Record-keeping, audit, quality assurance and information services
Many models of care exist which aim to improve communication between the child/adolescent/family and diabetes care teams. These models should also include methods to evaluate the quality of the diabetes services provided and the outcomes of management
Examples of useful clinical management tools include
- Personal hand-held records, monitoring diaries
- BG monitoring machines (± computer/telephone links)
- Clinic data sheets (hard copies and computer databases)
- A register or database including
- incident cases
- clinic attendances
- clinical review and complications screening
The WHO Basic Information Sheet for Children and Adolescents is an important template for the central collection of clinic data (Figure 2)
