Annual cycle of care helps patients manage their diabetes
20 Aug 2024
The diabetes cycle of care is a checklist which outlines the various checks and reviews which should be undertaken to manage diabetes and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
The annual cycle of care is recommended by the RACGP – Assessment of the patient with type 2 diabetes and has information about the recommended frequency of health checks.
A table outlining checks needed and how often those checks should be undertaken, is available on the SWSPHN website.
General practices are encouraged to put in place recall and reminder systems to ensure patients with diabetes complete their health checks on time to identify any health problems early.
You can identify which of your patients are overdue for elements of their annual cycle of care by generating a POLAR report and establishing patient recalls.
For assistance with pulling a POLAR report on your patients, please contact SWSPHN’s diabetes health coordinator, Alyssa Horgan, on 4632 3000 or email alyssa.horgan@swsphn.com.au
Your patients can access a diabetes annual cycle of care factsheet on the National Diabetes Services Scheme website
