Abstract

Background

Among chronic diseases, diabetes is a frequent focus of performance measurement. Disease-specific indicators based on evidence-based clinical guidelines have been used to evaluate the quality of care. There are worldwide efforts to improve the quality of diabetes care. Measuring the gap is an essential first step toward improving the quality of care.

Methods

In order to better understand the status of quality of diabetes care in Japan, a country with a universal healthcare system, we performed a literature search looking for all studies reporting on quality indicators. In this review, we summarized the studies that have looked at the status of the quality of diabetes care over the last decade.

Results

There were a total of 6 studies that reported on process including HbA1c, blood pressure, lipid screening, retinopathy and nephropathy screening and intermediate clinical measures which included percentages of patients reaching targets for HbA1c, blood pressure and LDL-C. Overall, the process measures continue to improve, however the clinical intermediate outcome measures remain suboptimal.

Conclusion

Despite the improvement in diabetes related process measures, there is limited data on clinical measures. It is necessary to shed more light on the assessment of the quality of diabetes care.
