Summary

Optimising glycaemic control during hospital stay reduces the rate of infections, length of stay and mortality, in particular in surgical patients. In this study, we test a strategy to implement optimal perioperative diabetes care in a controlled before and after design in 6 Dutch hospitals.

Tailored improvement strategy

A step-wise implementation model is applied: 1\) recommendations on optimal perioperative diabetes care (e.g. the administration of intravenous insulin, encouragement of diabetes self-management) are systematically translated into quality indicators; 2a) using these quality indicators, current care is measured by performing a medical record search among 400 patients in 6 hospitals; 2b) barriers and facilitators for optimal care are measured by performing interviews with professionals 3) based on this information an implementation strategy is developed; 4) implementation activities are enacted in 3 hospitals and 5) evaluated in a controlled before-after design in 6 hospitals providing before and after intervention 400 patients.
