Brief summary
OPTIMISE-CEEMEA is a multinational, multi-centre, observational, prospective study which will include patients suffering from diabetes type 2, treated or untreated, insulin dependent or not insulin dependent. In this study we aim to explore at a primary care level whether the use of benchmarking against a set of guideline-based reference values on a patient basis, may improve quality of patient care, in particular control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of patients in the benchmarking group achieving pre-set targets for HbA1c1 | after 12 months of follow-up | To investigate whether the use of benchmarking could improve quality of patient care, in particular the control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure, expressed as the percentage of patients in the benchmarking group achieving pre-set targets for HbA1c1 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of patient care improvement, in particular the control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure | after 12 months of follow-up versus baseline | To investigate whether the use of benchmarking could improve quality of patient care, in particular the control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure |
| Markers of preventive screening | after 12 months of follow-up versus baseline | To follow up evolution markers of preventive screening; retinopathy, neuropathy, dietary counseling, smoking habits, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity |
| The LDL cholesterol parameter of the primary and secondary objectives according to ATP III guidelines | after 12 months of follow-up versus baseline | To investigate the LDL cholesterol parameter of the primary and secondary objectives according to ATP III guidelines |
