Medical Vanguard Diabetes Management

Abstract

The Medical Vanguard Diabetes Management Project was designed to deploy an Internet based diabetes management system, MyCareTeam, into a number of existing diverse clinical environments and evaluate how such a stand-alone clinical information system can be integrated into diabetes management program. The diverse environments include the High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic at the National Naval Medical Center and 8 Native American Communities throughout the United States. The GAO Report Executive Guide: Measuring Performance and Demonstrating Results of Information Technology Investments (GAO/AIMD-98-89) will be used as the basis for the evaluation of the technology implementations. while the implementation of MyCareTeam has been shown to be clinically effective in some environments (KE Smith, et al, 2004, PR Conlin, et al, 2004) the processes required to implement this technology into diverse communities has not been studied. This project has two primary specific aims: clinical development and development evaluation.
