Diabetes to go-inpatient: pragmatic lessons learned from implementation of technology-enabled diabetes survival skills education within nursing unit workflow in an urban, tertiary care hospital
Abstract
Background Diabetes survival skills education (DSSE) focuses on core knowledge and skills necessary for safe, effective, short-term diabetes self-care. Inpatient DSSE delivery approaches are needed. Diabetes to Go (D2Go) is an evidence-based DSSE program originally designed for outpatients. Methods Implementation science principles were used to redesign D2Go for delivery by staff on medicine and surgery units in a tertiary care hospital to adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) using a tablet-based e-learning platform. Implementation efficacy was evaluated from staff and patient engagement perspectives. The Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) guided redesign. The team conducted qualitative evaluation (implementation barriers and facilitators); program redesign (via stakeholder feedback and education and human factors principles); implementation design for tablet delivery and patient engagement by unit staff; and a prospective implementation feasibility study. Results Among 596 T2DM patients identified on three medical/surgical units, 415 (69.6%) were program eligible. Of those eligible, 59 (14.2%) received, accessed, and engaged with the platform; and among those, 43 (72.9%) completed the intervention, representing just 10.4% of those eligible. Multilevel implementation barriers were encountered: staff (receptivity, time, production pressures, culture); process (electronic health record [EHR] integration, patient identification, data tracking, bedsid…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
