Following the success
of our existing audits in diabetes technology, including
the audit of the NHS England closed loop pilot,
this audit of closed-loop users
is planned to launch to coincide with the new NICE Technology Appraisal
and broader access to this vital technology.
About the ABCD
DTN-UK Closed-Loop audit
A secure online tool is currently being built to for the
collection of data in this audit. In the meantime, Centres with closed
loop users can collect data using the baseline and follow up forms in
paper format (see links on the right) ready to enter in bulk into the
online tool once it becomes available. We would encourage centres to
collect data prospectively using these forms. You will be informed as
soon as the online tool is available which should be in late 2023. The
baseline and follow-up forms can also be used for retrospective data
collection of those already using closed-loop systems and that data can
also be added to the on-line tool.
Web-based
audit tool
The online audit tool will be held on the Health and Social
Care Network (HSCN - formerly called N3) – the internal NHS IT system.
All data is anonymous, encrypted and GDPR compliant. As this audit is on
HSCN, it can only be accessed from an NHS computer system. The tool will
facilitate both local analysis and nationwide data analysis.
Structure of the audit – centres and sites
For this audit the concept of centres and sites is utilised in
the same way as in the other ABCD audits. Typically, a centre might be
an NHS Trust. Sites might be hospitals associated with that Trust.
Designated centre leads can download their local anonymised data for
analysis.
Collect data on-line or via paper forms
The on-line audit tool is intended to be easy to use such that
live data entry in clinic is a real option to be considered.
Alternatively, if preferred, to facilitate data collection during
clinics there are paper forms which exactly match the data that can be
entered into the audit tool. The baseline registration form should be
completed alongside a follow-up form if being completed retrospectively.
You can download and print these forms locally via the link (see links
on the left to download the forms).
Caldicott Guardian approval
The ABCD nationwide audit programme has Caldicott Guardian
approval. The programme is audit not research. The NHS encourages audit
of clinical practice and there are strict guidelines which we follow, in
particular that we only to collect data from routine clinical practice,
and analysis is of data which is anonymised.
