Details

Healthcare professionals can use the DOVE tool to explore the relationship between spending on diabetes treatment and local clinical outcomes for patients. This can help with planning and commissioning local services.

The tool includes clinical outcomes from the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) and Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF), and prescribing data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (now NHS Digital).

Guidance for users is included in the tool.

‘Briefing for the Diabetes Outcomes Versus Expenditure (DOVE) tool: overview to 2018’ gives an overview of the tool and presents data from 2013 to 2014, to 2017 to 2018, showing how spend on diabetes medications and the proportion of patients achieving recommended blood glucose levels varies between general practices (GPs) and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), and how it has changed over time.
