Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1. The new model of care will include a range of community based allied health services to manage diabetes incorporating a broad and comprehensive general assessment, endocrinology consultations, education and programs to support lifestyle and behaviour change based within a community setting. The main difference in the new model of care compared to the existing model is that there is an endocrinologist consulting and contact with key health workers can occur at the one appointment.
2. This project involves for participants the opportunity to potentially benefit from greater satisfaction in their treatment for their diabetes in the IDEAS clinic via improved processes and am improved model of care for diabetes. The overall time commitment will be the 90minutes of their scheduled appointment time when they attend either the INSPIRO clinic or the IDEAS clinic over a period of 6months, i.e. at baseline, 3months and 6months
Intervention code [1] 313081 0
Early Detection / Screening
Comparator / control treatment
The existing model of care within INSPIRO incorporates one appointment at a time with a key health worker/health professional Referrals are then made for another appointment with another health professional for a later date.The control is to compare a range of diabetes related outcomes related to participation in the existing model of care for people with diabetes within Inspiro Community Health v the new model of diabetes care in the IDEAS clinic. The main difference in the new model of care compared to the existing model is that there is an endocrinologist consulting and contact with key health workers can occur at the one appointment.

Statistical methods / analysis
This project is a pilot feasibility trial being conducted over 6months. We therefore believe it is appropriate to recruit 50 participants for each group. Fifty participants is a purposeful convenience sample not based on power calculations. The complete available sample within the specific local community setting of people with diabetes will be invited to participate. There are likely to be 64 potential participants over a 6month time period, hence 50 is used as being a goal to allow for attrition and those not willing to participate.

Summary
Brief summary
This project will evaluate the implementation and delivery of a new model of care for people with diabetes in the Yarra Ranges,including a multidisciplinary, integrated team within the local community health provider INSPIRO (Lilydale). Research will include collection of data from medical records, specifically designed questionnaires, interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders including clients,staff, management and the local community. The results of the evaluation will inform improvements to the service and the development and implementation of similar models in other locations within the Yarra Ranges
