Summary

This 12-month pilot tests a nurse-led, app-based intervention to improve diabetes self-management for low-socioeconomic status patients. It includes MyChart messing to give education, phone help on problem-solving with clinicians, and using a diabetes app to track data. The study aims to enhance self-management behaviors through health technology.

Detailed description

Guided by the Self- and Family Management Framework, which specifies facilitators and barriers to self- management behaviors, this project tests strategies for delivering virtual diabetes care to help low-socioeconomic status patients and clinicians use health information technology to support self-management behaviors. It is a 12-month pilot nurse-led, app-based behavioral intervention consisting of three evidence-based interventions: (1) education on A1C results and goal-setting via MyChart, the Epic electronic health record's patient portal; (2) a problem-solving action plan developed collaboratively by clinicians and patients; and (3) remote monitoring via mySugr, a top- rated diabetes app, to track blood glucose and identify the need for treatment adjustments.
