The pathway highlights the high-level overarching national case for change, best practice pathway for diabetes; and best practice case studies for elements of the pathway demonstrating what to change, how to change and the scale of improvement. This uses the evidence-base, clinical interventions, information on the risk conditions, and potential opportunities for improvement for use by local health economies when commissioning services. Local health economies may find it useful during the ‘What to Change’ phase of their RightCare work.
