Tools

To assist health care providers, policy makers, and consumers with the local implementation of optimal second-line therapies for patients with diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin, COMPUS will develop and post here a variety of intervention tools and materials to influence prescribing behaviour. These tools will be developed based on our evidence-based clinical and cost-effectiveness information (detailed in our Optimal Therapy Reports). To make these resources relevant to different audiences, COMPUS will assist in your implementation initiatives by tailoring specific tools to individual needs.

To help decision makers evaluate optimal therapy initiatives, COMPUS is also developing a series of generic tools, including an audit and feedback guide, evaluation framework, and academic detailing templates. As these tools become available they will be posted here.

• Second-line Therapy Tools

• Generic Tools
  • Audit and Feedback Guide on Prescribing Practices: A Guide for Decision Makers in Canada

  • Evaluation Framework for COMPUS Intervention Tools - provides options for qualitative and quantitative evaluation that could be undertaken by educational providers, their sponsors, or COMPUS to evaluate the effectiveness of COMPUS interventions tools.
