The Business Case Handbook for Diabetes Self Management

Building the Business Case for Diabetes Self Management: A Handbook for Program Managers

This handbook was conceived to meet the need to assemble in one place the rationale, methods and tools for building a business case for self management of diabetes.

• Chapter 1
  Provides the rationale for establishing a business case for implementing quality-enhancing interventions in diabetes, discusses procedural steps and methodological issues that must be addressed in developing a business case, and suggests conditions that should be met for an organization to embark on a successful business case analysis.

• Chapter 2
  Addresses the nonfinancial business case in greater depth. It introduces an expanded framework for the business case, taking into account other perspectives such as those of customers, communities and regulators.

• Chapter 3
  Presents the Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet templates for computing the return on investment for quality-enhancing interventions  in a variety of settings. [Download Templates] [Download Sample] (note: you will need to maximize the Excel® viewing window in order to see the available tabs)
