Developing a Computerized Diabetes Self-Management Education Module for Documenting Outcomes

Diabetes Health Center, 1002 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84012

PURPOSE

This paper describes a process used to develop a computerized diabetes self-management education record that complies with the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs.

METHODS

A working prototype was developed to computerize 1 of the 15 content modules outlined in the National Standards for use on the World Wide Web. During program development, three consultants reviewed the content and proposed structure. For the subsequent prototype, five diabetes educators served as users and evaluated the content, design, and flow of the system.

RESULTS

The module was found to be thorough in terms of curriculum content and proposed structure for subsequent teaching. Overall, users were satisfied with the graphic interface screens and provided important feedback for determining specific modifications for future development.

CONCLUSIONS

The World Wide Web format provides a universal platform for documenting diabetes education outcomes and allows a broad range of access and networking capabilities.
