Recipe Name:

QIM 1 – HBA1C status for patients with diabetes

Rationale:

Diabetes was the underlying cause of around 10% of all deaths in Australia in 2016 and recent reports show death rates for people with Type 2 diabetes are rising. As part of their care, people with Type 1 and 2 diabetes should have their glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) measured at least every 12 months, or more frequently depending on the level of blood glucose control. Effective management of chronic disease can delay the progression of disease, improve quality of life, increase life expectancy, and decrease the need for high-cost interventions.

Target:

Proportion of regular clients who have Type 1, Type 2 or undefined diabetes and who have had an HbA1c measurement result recorded at the primary health care service within the previous 12 months.
