Details and patient eligibility

About

Evolving technology and clinical innovation have led to dramatic changes in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). These changes have led to a need to collect a growing number of details from families during their visits. As a result, much of the physician-patient visit is spent transferring information instead of focusing on diabetes care, contributing to increased time pressures in clinic and unmet needs for patients.

In response to this reality, the investigators have developed a tool that allows families to input their diabetes-related information into their physicians' electronic health record (EHR) documentation tool before their clinic visit, using a questionnaire administered via CHEO's secure patient portal (MyChart®). The investigators will evaluate the impact of an integrated electronic patient questionnaire, on quality of care (patient-reported), diabetes control and clinic efficiency. The investigators hope that our study will determine whether having families input clinical data prior to a visit is an effective strategy to improve the quality of diabetes care. The investigators believe that the findings will be of interest to all those studying the value of incorporating patient-entered data both within diabetes care and beyond.
