Implementing Best Practice Advisories to Reduce Inequities in Technology Use for People With Type 1 Diabetes

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Other, Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The overall goal of the study is to create a standardized, stakeholder-informed system within EMRs, that will enable an equitable and regular prescription and documentation of advanced diabetes technologies. This will reduce racial disparities and generate an understanding of the reasons behind prescription decisions. The study will highlight the development and implementation an EMR-based Best Practice Advisory (BPA). The study will answer whether the EMR-based BPA can effectively reduce disparities. Additionally, it will explore why providers may not prescribe advanced diabetes technologies. Patients will also be surveyed to understand their perspectives on developing the EMR-based BPA.

Treatments
Experimental: ADT use following Best Practice Advisory among non- Hispanic Black and Hispanic Patients with T1D
ADT use following a BPA intervention among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic PwT1D receiving care at 6 T1DX-QI centers will be assessed. The EMR-based BPA will be designed to recommend ADT prescription to patients not already using some type of ADT using a rule-based algorithm. ADT will include CGM, insulin pumps, and AID systems. We will work with each of the 6 centers to implement the BPA as part of the Epic EMR. The function will generate a BPA if patient is not utilizing a CGM or pump/AID. If the patient is not on a CGM, pump or AID system (if already using CGM and pump), the BPA will suggest discussing and/or prescribing CGM (or pump/AID) to the provider. The provider will answer in the affirmative or say, not discussed or patient declined. If the provider chooses to opt out of prescribing, they will be forced to provide a reason for not prescribing to advance the screen. Providers in each intervention center will be trained on the BPA process prior to implementation.
Placebo_comparator: ADT use among non- Hispanic Black and Hispanic Patients with T1D
The arm will comprise of a matched control non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic PwT1D receiving care at a center over a 12-month period. Participants will be matched on the basis of Age categories, biological sex, Insurance status, Area deprivation index, Baseline Technology use, Duration of T1D bins, and Baseline HbA1c.
