Diabetes Improvement and Assurance Framework

The West Midlands Clinical Network has developed the Diabetes Improvement and Assurance Framework (DIAF), a new tool to complement existing information and assurance frameworks. The DIAF supports CCGs to focus on areas for improvement for their local diabetes patient population, and assists in the development of local improvement pathways and commissioning intentions. This is an evolving and ongoing programme of work.
