Nudging physicians and patients with autopend clinical decision support to improve diabetes management.
This study’s objective was to determine the impact on routine glycalated hemoglobin (A1C) laboratory test completion of incorporating an autopend laboratory order functionality into clinical decision support. The clinical decision support includes 1) routing provider alerts to a separate electronic folder, 2) automatically populating preauthorization forms, and 3) linking the timing and content of electronic patient health maintenance topic (HMT) reminders to the provider authorization. The likelihood of A1C laboratory test completion increased after autopend by between 21% to 33.9%.

Comparison of community health worker-led diabetes medication decision-making support for low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes using e-health tools versus print materials: a randomized, controlled trial.
This study compared outcomes between community health worker (CHW) use of a tailored, interactive, Web-based, tablet computer-delivered tool specifically developed for the study and use of printed educational materials. In a population of low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes and relatively low levels of formal education, participants in both CHW-led interventions reported mostly similar improvements in outcomes over 3 months.
