Key Points

  • To establish a national competency framework for evaluating knowledge and skills in diabetes technologies.
  • Developed a consensus statement on training and assessment.
  • Focused on hybrid closed loop, insulin pump systems, and continuous glucose monitoring.
  • Aimed to enhance the competency of healthcare providers.
  • Anticipated increase in healthcare providers' ability to assess and improve care.
  • Improved access to diabetes therapies and care standards.
  • Positive impact on clinical outcomes for individuals with diabetes.

Abstract

We anticipate that the national adoption of this training and competency framework will allow healthcare providers to assess and improve the care they provide. This in turn will improve access to therapies, care standards and improve clinical outcomes.
