Diabetes Electronic Prompt for Improved Care Coordination and Treatment (DEPICCT) in the ED

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral, Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the processes of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) care coordination and treatment in the emergency department (ED) by utilizing clinical decision support mechanisms in the electronic health record (EHR). The main question is whether electronic prompts triggered by hyperglycemia and elevated A1c results in providers providing earlier treatments and faster time to subsequent primary care appointment and greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HA1c). ED clinicians will receive alerts called Our Practice Advisories (OPA's) through the EPIC EHR. The 1st OPA triggers when a random point-of-care (POC) glucose is ≥250 mg/dL, prompting a suggested additional HA1c order. A 2nd OPA triggers if the resulting HA1c is ≥10%, prompting consideration of further care coordination in the Observation Unit. Investigators will compare the outcomes post-intervention compared to pre-intervention.
