Diabetics (Type 1) receiving all 8 care processes - ICP Outcomes Framework - Birmingham and Solihull

This dataset presents the percentage of individuals with type 1 diabetes who have received all eight recommended care processes as defined by the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). These care processes are essential for the effective monitoring and management of diabetes and include assessments such as body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, smoking status, HbA1c, cholesterol, urine albumin, serum creatinine, and foot examination for nerve and circulation health. The dataset provides insight into the delivery of routine diabetes care across healthcare settings.

Rationale

Receiving all eight care processes is linked to better monitoring, early detection of complications, and improved long-term outcomes for individuals with type 1 diabetes. This indicator supports the evaluation of care quality and helps identify areas for improvement in the management of type 1 diabetes.

Numerator

The numerator includes the number of individuals with type 1 diabetes who received all eight care processes within the audit period. These processes are: BMI measurement, blood pressure check, smoking status recording, HbA1c test, cholesterol test, urine albumin test, serum creatinine test, and foot examination for nerve and circulation health. Data is sourced from the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) and NHS England.

Denominator

The denominator includes all individuals registered with type 1 diabetes at GP practices participating in the National Diabetes Audit. This ensures a consistent and representative population base for calculating the indicator.
