What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the uptake of Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) among individuals with diabetes. It aims to address the barriers that prevent healthcare providers from referring patients to these programs and the reasons patients may not attend. The study will implement best practice advisories through electronic health records to prompt providers when patients qualify for DSMES. Additionally, it will explore the role of peer support in encouraging patients to participate in these educational programs and adopt healthier lifestyles.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with diabetes who are eligible for diabetes self-management education and support.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have diabetes or those who are already actively participating in diabetes self-management programs may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to increased participation in diabetes self-management programs, ultimately improving health outcomes for patients with diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that similar interventions can effectively increase participation in diabetes education programs, suggesting a promising approach.
