Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will integrate a technology-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) system \[herein MJS DIABETES\] that incorporates patients' perspective of their disease and functional status into the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in primary care practices. MJS DIABETES is an innovative mobile platform that utilizes text-messaging to capture patients' self-reported PROs in real-time; enhance patient engagement through data-driven feedback and motivational messages; and create dynamic visualizations of the PROs that can be shared in printed reports, and integrated into the EHR; thus making it actionable for patients and their PCPs.

Using a mixed-methods design, this study will be conducted in 2 phases: 1) a formative phase, using the evidence-based user-centered design approach; and 2) a clinical-efficacy phase. For the formative phase, a qualitative research method will be used to: a) adapt MJS to the needs of PCPs and T2D patients; b) integrate MJS DIABETES into the EHR system, the primary care practice and the lives of patients with T2D; and c) evaluate the usability of MJS DIABETES in a subset of T2D patients and their PCPs in order to optimize the tool's performance and workflow integration.

For the clinical efficacy phase, a randomized control trial will be used to identify the efficacy of MJS DIABETES versus Usual Care (UC) on reduction HbA1c at 12-months, among 282 patients with T2D who receive care in safety-net practices.
