In Switzerland, we need a nationwide \"quality of care\" programme consisting of evidence-based, practical guidance\u00a0for primary care providers, together with the implementation of a multidisciplinary care system for DFS.\nMETHODS: Elaboration of\u00a0interprofessional and comprehensive Swiss practical guidance for the timely management of acute DFS. This guidance will not replace existing recommendations, but will be complementary to them. Before\u00a0nationwide implementation, three Swiss \u00a0pilot sites\u00a0will test the guidance in collaboration with\u00a0local interprofessional foot-care centres.\nRESULTS: Under the umbrella of QualiCCare, and endorsed by the professional societies involved, twenty experts from all relevant professions issued four protocols for various aspects of DFS between March 2018 and January 2020. In addition, they defined criteria for\u00a0triage and treatment in primary care, as well as the timely referral of patients with DFS to interprofessional foot-care centres. We propose a framework for multidisciplinary, specialised foot-care networks, and interprofessional foot-care centres. The piloting of the proposed concepts is underway. All documents are available on the website www.qualiccare.ch.\nCONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence-based tools for Swiss primary care providers and specialists, and increase the accessibility for patients to\u00a0specialised and timely care of DFS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4414\/smw.2021.w30045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,6]],"date-time":"2021-11-06T15:30:47Z","timestamp":1636212647000},"page":"w30045","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Swiss interdisciplinary guidance on good practices for acute and complicated diabetic foot syndromes"],"prefix":"10.57187","volume":"151","author":[{"given":"Bettina","family":"Peter-Riesch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"Czock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilker","family":"U\u00e7kay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"36756","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]]},"container-title":["Swiss Medical Weekly"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/smw.ch\/index.php\/smw\/article\/download\/3103\/5170","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/smw.ch\/index.php\/smw\/article\/download\/3103\/5171","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/smw.ch\/index.php\/smw\/article\/download\/3103\/5172","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/smw.ch\/index.php\/smw\/article\/download\/3103\/5172","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,26]],"date-time":"2023-01-26T17:17:22Z","timestamp":1674753442000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/smw.ch\/index.php\/smw\/article\/view\/3103"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4546","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4414\/smw.2021.w30045","relation":{},"ISSN":["1424-3997"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1424-3997","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]]}}}
