Process and outcome measures of quality of care at the diabetes outpatient clinic, University College Hospital, Ibadan

Conclusion: Although the organization of the outpatient services allowed for good performance with regards to “free” services such as blood pressure and weight measurement, it performed suboptimally for foot examinations. Performance indicators that required payment were consistently underperformed. Regular assessment of the quality of care may help in the identification of opportunities for improvement in the organization and delivery of care.
