There are a variety of processes used to monitor prescribing patterns and variation in the prescribing of technologies for people with diabetes. These are based on community pharmacy reimbursement data and include tools such as Open Prescribing, which is publicly available on the NHS Business Services Authority’s ePACT2 platform and PrescQIPP.
