Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a disease with rising relevance because of its compromising effect on patients, increasing incidence, and the enormous consumption of resources. Essential diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are shaped by traditional concepts and are not clarified.
This article elucidates the background and quality management of the DFS register, as well as the relationship between the questions, definitions, and parameters pertaining to it.
In the context of documentation of individual contracts, data are collected, verified, and exported quarterly by different end-user software programs. The data collection institution passes these data on to legitimated institutions, performs test module maintenance for end-user software programs, and supports documentation. Compatibility is taken into account during adaption of data.
Since 2003, 70,000 DFS datasets have been collected by 102 specialized facilities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hamburg, and Berlin. The evaluations conducted to date have considered the open comparison of key data between institutions and the benefit of specialized care in particular.
Health insurance representatives, different specialist companies, and specialized care facilities documenting, to date, on individual contracts have established a worldwide unique instrument of DFS documentation and quality management. This register helps to answer scientific questions. It is internationally orientated and could also be used by other countries, in different languages.
