Can tech and coaching get more diabetes patients into education?
NCT ID NCT05472142
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether combining health information technology with practice facilitation could help clinics refer more people with diabetes to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES). The study involved 22 clinics and their staff. Researchers measured referral and attendance rates before, during, and after the intervention to see if the approach worked.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- practice facilitation and health information technology
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help clinics refer more people with diabetes to education programs that teach self-management skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 22 clinics, so results may not apply broadly. It tests a process, not a treatment, so direct patient benefits are uncertain.
