Conditions

Brief Summary

The purpose of this novel patient-facing disease management intervention is to develop and test a system embedded within the electronic medical record to engage patients in personalized goal setting and chronic disease management.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this novel patient-facing disease management intervention, My Diabetes GOAL, is to develop and test a system embedded within the electronic medical record to engage patients in personalized goal setting and chronic disease management by: 1) establishing personalized goals of care based on comorbidities and preferences, 2) tracking diabetes measures against personalized goals, and 3) selecting the route and intensity of care management to help patients achieve their goals (e.g., telephonic care management, in-person care management, and self-care resources). This application can be used to individualize care, increase engagement with patient portals, and improve patient self-efficacy, as they take a more active role in their care.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Documentation of Diabetes GoalBaseline, 6 months

Documentation of a personalized goal for diabetes care (e.g., A1C target) of diabetes care (yes or no).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Ability to Reach Personalized GoalsBaseline, 6 month

Using EHR data, we will measure whether or not patients are reaching the goals they have documented in the survey.

Personalized A1C GoalsBaseline, 6 months

The A1C goal outcome is based on a survey response and is distinct from the measured A1C from laboratory testing. The number of analyzed A1C goal results is therefore dependent on the number of survey respondents.
