Good Practices in Social Security Database

The identification and sharing of good practices helps social security organizations and institutions to improve their operational and administrative efficiency.

In the context of the ISSA, a good practice is defined as any type of experience (e.g. an action, a measure, a process, a programme, a project, or a technology) implemented within a social security organization that fosters the improvement of its administrative and operational capacities, and/or the efficient and effective delivery of programmes.

The good practices selected by the ISSA focus on topics related to the priorities as defined in the programme and budget of the Association. The good practices are from member institutions of the ISSA and are primarily collected through the work of the eleven ISSA Technical Commissions and the ISSA Good Practice Awards. Winners of the Good Practice Awards are identified in this database with a symbol (Good practice award winner ).

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, the ISSA declines liability for any inaccuracy, omission or other error in the data contained in the good practice descriptions.

Stage by stage programme for the global management of diabetes
The ISSSTE introduced the stage by stage global management of diabetes (MIDE) for the first level of treatment in 2008. We were the first institution in Mexico to support a method based on the empowerment of patients, for those living with diabetes, thus breaking away from the paradigm of specialist care to focus on the active participation of the patient through the incorporation of healthy habits and behaviours on a permanent basis.
