Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of a novel patient portal intervention designed to: (a) notify patients when selected, clinically meaningful, evidence-based diabetes monitoring \& preventative care (e.g., annual diabetes eye exam) become due and (b) allow patients to initiate orders for the care. In addition, the investigators will assess pre-post change on secondary psychosocial outcomes (e.g., self-efficacy).

Diabetes Care Gaps Patient Portal Intervention

The Diabetes Care Gaps Patient Portal Intervention involves a new feature embedded with the My Health At Vanderbilt (MHAV) native app (on Epic's MyChart platform) for mobile devices that allows patients to: (a) receive notifications when the patient is due for certain types of diabetes monitoring and preventative care and (b) initiate an order for the care. Automated notifications will be sent to patients if, according to the evidence-based guidelines, the patients are due for a hemoglobin A1C blood test, microalbumin urine test, diabetes eye exam, or pneumonia vaccination. Once notified patients can initiate orders for the care within the MHAV app. The patient will receive confirmation when the order has been processed and will be provided instructions to receive the relevant care.
