Abstract
Diabetes care is shifting from disease management to personalised care. Internationally, diabetes care providers are advised to integrate the patient's preferences, wishes and possibilities into diabetes care in order to improve its efficiency. The Dutch Diabetes Federation has developed a specifically patient-centred conversation model that can be systematically applied. At an annual appraisal, the physician and the patient make decisions on the treatment goals to set, and on the treatment and professional support needed to achieve these goals. In this way person-centred and efficient care may become reality. The first results of a pilot study are promising. Currently the applicability and added value of the model are being tested on a large scale. The model is more broadly applicable, which means this could be a new perspective for everyone with a chronic disease.
