Blood Glucose Monitoring in Electronic Health Records

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

This multi-site randomized tral aims to test methods of increasing adoption and integration of blood glucose monitoring into electronic medical records, and to measure the impact of wide-scale adoption on health status of patients with diabetes. To investigate determinants of adoption, the research will combine and test doctor and patient focused approaches to encouraging patient use of blood glucose flow sheets through the online patient portal, MyChart. Adoption will be measured on both the extensive and intensive margin: the number of patients who enter data into the flowsheets at all during the study period, and the mean number of entries per patient during the study period. Conditional on statistically significant increases in adoption, the study will examine corresponding intent-to-treat effects on patient A1c, and consider other indicators of possible mechanisms through which A1c improves or does not improve.
