Diabetes to Go: Inpatient Education Implementation
Completed
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus
In brief
The study used the Practical, Robust, Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) with mixed methods to: redesign a diabetes survival skills education (DSSE) program (DM2Go) content and the processes for its inpatient delivery; and to evaluate the feasibility of integrating and implementing high-tech tablet computer-enabled delivery of the DSSE program for hospital inpatients within usual workflow by staff on general medical/surgical units (MSUs) and a behavioral health unit. The four study phases were: I) Interviews and focus groups with stakeholders to identify perceived barriers and facilitators for implementation; II) Redesign of the D2Go program to address usability issues and potential barriers and to optimize perceived facilitators; III) Development of implementation processes and a D2Go toolkit; IV) Conduct of a prospective cohort pilot study on three MSUs and one BHU.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Age > 18 yrs (lower limit of age for admission to MWHC adult units. All of the Diabetes To Go content is designed for adult learners)
- English speaking (Diabetes To Go content is currently only available in English);
- Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (ICD9 250.xx/ICD-10-CM E08-E11) documented in the EMR
- Admitted to one of the inpatient units (non-critical care adult medicine/surgery nursing units, including 1 psychiatry unit) where the study is being conducted
- Willing and able to participate in the program.
You may not qualify if…
- Age < 18 years (MWHC does not admit minors to its Medicine units and Diabetes To Go content has been prepared for adult learners) 2. Pregnancy or anticipated conception within 3 mos (Diabetes To Go content does not address gestational diabetes or diabetes in pregnancy where management and glycemic targets differ considerably from those for non-pregnant adults ); 3. Admission to an intensive-care unit, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state - conditions in which the acuity level would likely preclude participation in DSME; 4. Patient declines participation in the education program for any reason; and any medical condition or cognitive dysfunction that, in the opinion of unit staff, would preclude participation in the education program.
