The purpose of this novel patient-facing disease management intervention is to develop and test a system embedded within the electronic medical record to engage patients in personalized goal setting and chronic disease management.
The purpose of this novel patient-facing disease management intervention, My Diabetes GOAL, is to develop and test a system embedded within the electronic medical record to engage patients in personalized goal setting and chronic disease management by: 1) establishing personalized goals of care based on comorbidities and preferences, 2) tracking diabetes measures against personalized goals, and 3) selecting the route and intensity of care management to help patients achieve their goals (e.g., telephonic care management, in-person care management, and self-care resources). This application can be used to individualize care, increase engagement with patient portals, and improve patient self-efficacy, as they take a more active role in their care.

Documentation of Diabetes Goal
Documentation of a personalized goal for diabetes care (e.g., A1C target) of diabetes care (yes or no).
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months
Personalized A1C Goals
The A1C goal outcome is based on a survey response and is distinct from the measured A1C from laboratory testing. The number of analyzed A1C goal results is therefore dependent on the number of survey respondents.
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months
Patient Ability to Reach Personalized Goals
Using EHR data, we will measure whether or not patients are reaching the goals they have documented in the survey.
Time frame: Baseline, 6 month
