Return to the Commissioning 8 Steps
Benefits to you
We hope that in providing this resource we will help to avoid the same exercises being repeated unnecessarily. The key outcomes we are looking to support are:
- Effective undertaking of a Health Needs Assessment to help identify and prioritise areas of poor outcome locally
- Support the implementation of integrated system-wide diabetes services
- Promote supported self-management and collaborative care planning
- Support service improvement in local priority areas identified by the Health Needs Assessment process
The principles of the diabetes commissioning approach is summarised in the document ‘Diabetes Without Walls’. This is supported by a set of commissioning guides, each of which contains a clear intervention map of what services should be provided, outcome-based service specifications, contracting framework, with examples of health economics, protocols, templates, evaluation guidance and case studies.
