|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| List of patients with diabetes | Number of diabetic patients/(Number of registered patients * 0.061) * 100 | Structure | 0 | 84.2 (53.6) | 84.0 |
| Percentage of patients with diabetes with measured HbA1C once a year | Number of patients with diabetes with measured HbA1C at least once a year/number of registered diabetic patients The expression “registered” describes the number of patients with diabetes/hypertension on the patient list of each family medicine practice | Process | 80 | 25.6 (22.3) | 21.2 |
