The conclusion of this article by David Simmons et al, published in the NZ Medical Journal, with 291 participants in a Primary Care Quality improvement Audit was "The DCSS is a seamless, service-orientated approach to the delivery of diabetes care by primary and secondary services and is likely to improve care district-wide and identify the need for further interventions. Subsequent audit passes will allow the demonstration and monitoring of any changes that occur, as well as the demonstration of its feasibility and acceptability on an ongoing basis".
