7. The NADC Accreditation Review
• Ensure that the NADC accreditation enabled organisations to 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 was meeting key goals under the National Diabetes Strategy
* Improved care
* Improved quality of life among people with diabetes
* A reduction in the prevalence of diabetes-related complications.

8. 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

9. Key Inclusions and Considerations
• Ensure that our standards were easy-to-use and easy-to-understand (with the inclusion of an explanatory guide to assist applicants)
• Three key aspects underpinned our direction for V2 – the inclusion of governance, educational and clinical criteria
• Key criteria were added including:
Improved patient health outcomes
Technology
Integrated Care
Patient self-management &
Health literacy.

10. Who Can Apply for NADC Accreditation?
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

11. 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

12. In Australia …
Diabetes centres are generally accredited via overarching hospital accreditation, however…
Some services can miss out as not all hospital-based services are involved in the accreditation process
Diabetes centres which operate in the community or in a medical centre cannot access this accreditation
NADC has filled the accreditation gap; providing all diabetes centres with the opportunity to participate in quality and safety improvement.

13. Member Benefits of NADC Accreditation
