Overview

Information Prescription is a new scheme launched by Diabetes UK and is designed to give patients with Diabetes the information they need to understand and improve on their health targets. The Vision+ Information Prescription pathway enables you to easily monitor and target patients who fall into the high risk category of developing complications associated with Diabetes, which include:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• High HbA1c

Using the Reporting tools, Template screen and Alert prompts you can easily identify patients who are not meeting their targets, prepare an Information Prescription plan and manage the patient's care. The benefits of using the Information Prescription pathway include:

Practice

• Personalised individual care plans that include the patient's specific target needs, signposting to support care planning and actions to reduce further risk.
• An easy to use pathway that facilitates quick data entry.
• Comprehensive reporting tools that target Diabetic patients at the highest risk.
