The healthcare services research unit of the Instituto Aragonés de Ciencias de la Salud reports the variation in and the evolution of the healthcare given by the Health System through the Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in the Spanish NHS.
This Atlas makes it possible to view the care given to patients with diabetes in each autonomous community. A series of indicators (contextual, on care to the patient with diabetes, on results of such care and on complications) are presented in the Atlas, at the level of basic health area and healthcare area. The Atlas on Diabetes also offers specific analyses by determined age groups and for men and women separately, permitting their comparison.
The type of indicators represented and the unit of analysis chosen make this Atlas a potentially useful tool for monitoring the implementation of regional diabetes.
This Atlas is funded by the project ‘Care for patients with chronic conditions in the NHS: Space-time evolution of potentially avoidable hospitalisations, by basic health area and healthcare areas (Healthcare Research Fund PI 1400786, Carlos III Health Institute, Lead researcher Enrique Bernal Delgado), by the Research Network on Health Services in Chronic Conditions (REDISSEC), the Carlos III Health Institute and the Instituto Aragonés de Ciencias de la Salud
