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.
