(P602) Engaging People with Diabetes in a National Learning Network: Insights from the T1D Exchange

National learning health networks should design stakeholder engagement (SE) opportunities and involve people with diabetes (PWD) in quality improvement (QI) interventions to improve healthcare delivery for people of all ages with diabetes. Using a Chronic Care Model of participatory design, T1D Exchange QI Collaborative (T1DX-QI) convenes a PWD committee and supports shared decision-making with their healthcare providers (HCP). Involving PWD in design and in QI processes is something many diabetes centers do to make their patients’ experiences more relevant, meaningful, and effective. This poster reviews a project to describe stakeholder engagement in QI efforts and shared decision-making practices across 54 pediatric and adult medical centers in the T1DX-QI. They surveyed the centers, asking if they have involved PWD or their parents in care improvement activities. Centers were asked about the frequency and types of SE they practiced and identified as best practices. Through the T1DX Online Community, four questions were asked to PWD to learn about their shared decision-making experiences with their HCP regarding priority-setting and goal-setting.
