2 BHCiG: TYPE 2 DIABETES MANAGEMENT PATHWAY MODEL INTRODUCTION What is the aim of the model? To improve the capacity of primary care health practitioners to better respond to the needs of people living with type 2 diabetes. What does the model describe? The model describes a continuum of care pathway from risk screening through to recall & review and ongoing risk assessment. Within the model clients would be screened/ assessed to determine need, priority of access & appropriate management pathways. It sets out a pathway which integrates risk prioritization at different steps along the way within the Annual Cycle of Care used by GP s. It will be supported by common Gippsland referral processes and feedback tools. What is the scope of the model? While the whole process from risk screening to ongoing assessment is described the BHCiG project is primarily concerned with the process from initial assessment onwards. This means that within the annual cycle of care if diabetes complications become present or increase then the response would become more intense until the risk was stabilised and patient would return to regular annual cycle of care visits. Who does it involve? The pathway reads with the GP as the central person the gateway who initiates the referrals. While this is true of a newly diagnosed client especially during initial assessment and diagnosis this may not be the case for someone already in the system especially when it comes to a change in the person s level of risk complications. Referral pathways will include other health professionals as they interact with the client with diabetes. How will it be tested? The BHCiG Chronic Disease Management Task Group has endorsed the final model. It will be the role of the local networks to establish how they implement it within agreed standards. The model is presented with best practice standards that underpin the model. However the local protocols, processes, procedures and systems that describe how these standards will be implemented will be developed at a local level where the model will be tested. These standard practices and processes would apply to each stage or component of the model. The first two stages of the model already have standards of practice used by GPs (NHMRC).

3 GLOSSARY Type 2 Diabetes: Previously known as non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM ) or mature onset diabetes BHCiG: Better Health Care in Gippsland is the name of the overall service coordination and chronic disease project jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State governments NHMRC: National Health and Medical Research Council DE: Diabetes Educator RACGP: Royal Australian College of General Practitioners WHO: World Health Organisation GP: General Practitioner DHS: Department of Human Services CVD: Cardio-vascular Disease ATSI: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander CALD: Culturally and Linguistic Diverse population. Previously the term Non English Speaking Background BMI: Body Mass Index HbA1c: Glycated Haemoglobin K10 tool: Kessler-10 is a self rating questionnaire which is used to measure psychosocial distress EPC Care Plan: for the purposes of this project it refers to a plan of action aimed at meeting the care needs of a high risk client with type 2 diabetes. It sets out the services to be provided by the clients GP and at least 2 other health or community care providers involved in their care. A date to review the care plan is also set at this time SC care plan: Multi-agency Service Coordination plan template designed by DHS to support shared care planning. Can be used as an alternative to EPC care plan EPC: Enhanced Primary Care Program BP: Blood Pressure BSL: Blood Sugar Levels RBSL: Random Blood Sugar Levels Case conference: A case conference is a meeting held between a client s GP and at least two other health or community care providers to jointly agree on the types of services the client needs. The meeting can be by phone, face to face or through video conferencing. It differs from a care plan in that it usually involves immediate management plans. However holding the case conference may identify the need for developing a care plan and visa versa. Care Coordinator: A nominated worker who has the responsibility of ensuring that the care plan is implemented, and that reviews and re-assessments are undertaken at the appropriate times by the relevant service providers Activities may include some or all of: Assessment Care plan development Referral and/or feedback Implementation of the care plan, including liaison with service providers Monitoring Review Reassessment Management of brokerage funds.

4 BHCiG: TYPE 2 DIABETES MANAGEMENT PATHWAY MODEL - SUMMARY PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE MODEL ONLY. YOU WILL NEED TO REFER TO THE MORE DETAILED DESRIPTION OF EACH STAGE OF THE MODEL AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES STAGE COMPONENTS INITIAL SCREENING DIAGONSIS Risk screening of non diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes clients to identify those at high risk Clients identified as being at high risk of Type 2 Diabetes referred to and then by GP for diagnostic testing of blood glucose levels (measurement of venous plasma glucose) Follow up GP appointment made at time of GP ordering plasma glucose test Laboratory test undertaken(measurement of venous plasma glucose) Diagnosis of diabetes made according to Type 2 diabetes guidelines case detection and diagnosis information [ WHO guidelines, NHMRC INITIAL ASSESSMENT & ON-GOING REVIEW GP conducts initial detailed specialist assessment of patient, physical examination and orders further investigations [Diabetes Management in general practice 2004/5 Diabetes Australia & RACGP] GP develops with patient immediate care to relieve acute symptoms ONGOING REVIEW and ASSESSMENT of CARE REFERRALS AND IDENTIFICATION OF DIABETES TEAM CARE PLAN DEVELOPED RECALL & REVIEW and RISK COMPLICATIONS Based on assessment GP instigates referrals to appropriate health professionals using agreed referral cover sheet & Victorian Statewide Referral Form (once electronic) with priority access rating according to BHCiG Type 2 Diabetes risk map Referral feedback on assessment outcomes (via BHCiG Diabetes Management feedback forms) received by GP within maximum 6 weeks unless assessed as high risk Care Coordinator appointed for high risk clients Diabetes Management plan developed with client (and carer) and other nominated health professionals in diabetes care team (with case conference or other process as agreed) Cycle of care process established for all diabetes clients with agreed responsibilities of members of diabetes team and with agreed timelines & feedback processes Diabetes management plan documented in patient kept record [Diabetes Health Record] and client record Diabetes team members document visit outcomes in patient kept record and client medical record Diabetes team members continue to refer to appropriate health professionals where risk status has altered Ongoing risk assessment of diabetes complications of client by GP or other agreed health professional (ie: DE, practice nurse) using BHCiG Type 2 Diabetes risk map G:\ CDM\BHCIG Diabetes Pathway FINAL September 05.doc 4
