quality of healthcare

Grâce à des collectes régulières de données, le projet IQED surveille la qualité des soins dans une centaine de centres de diabétologie reconnus à travers la Belgique et fournit des commentaires personnalisés, aidant ainsi les centres à améliorer la qualité de leurs soins.

Through regular data collections, the IQED project monitors quality of care in about 100 recognised diabetes centres throughout Belgium and provides individualised feedback, helping the centres to improve their quality of care.

Diabetes is a burden for both patients and their parents who need to receive a specific education to properly manage the disease. Beside vascular complications, diabetes in youth is also linked with higher risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, severe episodes of hypoglycemia and comorbidity. Therefore management of diabetes in young patients should cover periodic assessment, attentive monitoring for glycemic control and screening of vascular complication and comorbidity. In Belgium, specific centres are recognized by the INAMI-RIZIV for the treatment of diabetes in youth.
