Implementation and Evaluation of a Best Practice Advisory to Reduce Inequities in Technology Use for People With Type 1 Diabetes: Protocol for a Mixed Methods, Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Continuous advancements in diabetes technologies have improved self-management for people with type 1 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems have enhanced the quality of life and glycemic outcomes while reducing severe hypoglycemia and diabetes ketoacidosis hospitalizations. Despite these benefits, racial inequities in the use of advanced diabetes technology (ADT) persist.

Objective

This study aims to develop and evaluate a best practice advisory (BPA) within the electronic medical record (EMR) to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in ADT use. We hypothesize that an EMR-based BPA designed to standardize the prescribing of ADTs will minimize racial and ethnic disparities in ADT adoption or progression in use among pediatric
