How is NADC Funded?
• The Australian Diabetes Society (ADS) is responsible for the operations of the NADC
• In 2015 the NADC began its journey to become financially independent
• In 2016 this goal was achieved
• Member centres pay an annual membership
• CEO increased from 0.4 to 0.6 FTE
• Communications Manager 0.2 FTE
• ADS Business & Events Manager 0.2 FTE = 1.0 FTE
We grew!
The NADC Accreditation Review
• Ensure that the NADC accredited organisations provide robust quality and safe care for people with, or at risk of diabetes
• To ensure that member centres were provided with the support and means by which to deliver quality and safe care to patients
• By lifting the standard of service delivered by centres across Australia, the NADC is meeting key goals under the National Diabetes Strategy 2016-2020
All NADC member centres
It’s important to note:
NADC Accreditation is not mandatory, however…
Successful accreditation is required in order to be recognised as an “NADC Accredited Centre” in the following categories: Tertiary, Care, or Affiliate member
Who Can Apply for NADC Accreditation?
How Has This Been Achieved? The NADC standards incorporate essential and relevant criteria from key standards including:
- The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care’s National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards
- The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners
Standards for General Practices
Key Inclusions and Considerations
• Ensure that our standards were easy-to-use and easy-to-understand• Three key aspects underpinned our direction – the inclusion of criteria on:
• Governance• Education• Clinical care
• Key criteria added include:• Improved patient health outcomes • Technology• Integrated Care• Patient self-management & • Health literacy
Globally…Diabetes accreditation and recognition standards are either:
• Program focussed – accrediting or recognising to a single program,or
• Clinically focussed – accrediting or recognising particular clinical practices and/or outcomes
In Australia …Diabetes centres are generally accredited via overarching hospital or RACGP accreditation, however…
• Some services can miss out as not all hospital-based diabetes services are involved in the accreditation process
• Diabetes centres which operate in the community or in a medical centre are not specifically assessed against diabetes accreditation standards
NADC has filled the accreditation gap; providing all diabetes centres with the opportunity to participate in quality and safety improvement.
