Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 ; Practice Guideline [Publication type]Abstract: Inbreng van de patiënt en afweging door de huisarts
Aanbevelingen voor goede medische praktijk zijn richtinggevend als ondersteuning en houvast bij het nemen van diagnostische
of therapeutische beslissingen in de huisartsengeneeskunde. Zij vatten voor de huisarts samen wat voor de gemiddelde patiënt
wetenschappelijk gezien het beste beleid is. Daarnaast is er de agenda van de patiënt, die een gelijkwaardige partner is
bij het nemen van beslissingen. Daarom moet door een heldere communicatie de vraag van de patiënt voor de huisarts duidelijk
zijn en moet de huisarts de patiënt voldoende informeren over alle aspecten van de verschillende beleidsopties. Het kan dus
voorkomen dat huisarts en patiënt samen verantwoord en beredeneerd een andere beste keuze maken. Om praktische redenen
komt dit uitgangspunt niet telkens opnieuw in de aanbevelingen aan de orde, maar wordt het hier expliciet vermeld.Link for e-copy: http://www.wvvh.be/files/Diabetes_ab.pdf Format of e-copy: Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=7 Hold

A framework for high quality in post graduate training has been defined by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME). The objective of this paper is to perform a systematic review of reviews to find current evidence regarding aspects of quality of post graduate training and to organise the results following the 9 areas of the WFME framework.
METHODS:
The systematic literature review was conducted in 2009 in Medline Ovid, EMBASE, ERIC and RDRB databases from 1995 onward. The reviews were selected by two independent researchers and a quality appraisal was based on the SIGN tool.
RESULTS:
31 reviews met inclusion criteria. The majority of the reviews provided information about the training process (WFME area 2), the assessment of trainees (WFME area 3) and the trainees (WFME area 4). One review covered the area 8 'governance and administration'. No review was found in relation to the mission and outcomes, the evaluation of the training process and the continuous renewal (respectively areas 1, 7 and 9 of the WFME framework).
CONCLUSIONS:
The majority of the reviews provided information about the training process, the assessment of trainees and the trainees. Indicators used for quality assessment purposes of post graduate training should be based on this evidence but further research is needed for some areas in particular to assess the quality of the training process.Link for e-copy: https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6920-11-80 Format of e-copy: PDF [Requires Subscription] Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=4046 [article]E-copies
