Abstract
Background
The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the UK creates an additional, potentially preventable burden on health care and service providers. The Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme aims to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes through identification of people at risk and the provision of intensive lifestyle change support. The provision of this care can be monitored through quality measurement at both the general practice and specialist service level.
Aim
To develop quality measures through piloting to assess the validity, credibility, acceptability, reliability and feasibility of any proposed measures.
Design and setting
The non-experimental mixed design piloting study consists of consensus testing and exploratory research with general practitioners (GPs), commissioners and patients from Herefordshire, England.
Methods
A mixed-method approach will be used to develop and validate measures for diabetes prevention care and evaluate their performance over a six month pilot period consisting of i) consensus testing using a modified RAND approach with GPs and commissioners, ii) four focus groups with 10-12 participants discussing experiences of non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, perceived ability to access care and prevent diabetes, and views on potential quality measures, iii) piloting final measures with at least 5 general practices for baseline and 6 month data.
Results
The findings will inform the implementation of the diabetes prevention quality measures on a national scale whilst addressing any issue with validity, credibility, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness.
Conclusion
Health care professionals and patients have the opportunity to evaluate the reliability, acceptability and validity of measures
