Descrição detalhada
Good quality of care requires a multidisciplinary approach, especially with chronic illnesses. Therefore, all members of the care team should be adequately informed and communicate well with each other. Additionally, patients should have a key role in their treatment plan. To successfully optimize self care, patients have to be well-informed about pathogenesis, treatments and complications so that expectations are realistic and attainable goals can be set. Currently, access to this relevant data is fragmented and often unavailable.
The newly developed application creates a central platform where all relevant data, educational material, medication scheme... are available for both the patient and healthcare professionals. The targeted study population are patients with type 2 diabetes who will be recruited by their general practitioner (GP) over a period of 3 months. When patients are interested in partaking, they will be contacted by a healthcare professional who will function as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for the patient during the entirety of the study with a maximum duration of 6 months. The SPOC helps with the start up of the application, collects administrative data and contacts the participants at regular intervals to help with difficulties in using the application. Furthermore, the SPOC will administer a questionnaire determining patient involvement and experience at the start and end of the study, as well as conduct an in-depth interview when the study is completed. Throughout the study, other questionnaires will be digitally available for the patient as part of the care path. These patient reported outcome and experience measures (PROM/PREM) will support healthcare professionals in providing a more integral care.
Consequently, involved healthcare professionals will also be contacted, informed and asked to complete a questionnaire once healthcare professionals agree to participate in the study. This questionnaire will focus on the information and communication needs between members of the care team and will also be repeated at the end, followed by an in-depth interview.

Experimental: patients
Implementation and visualisation of digital care path. Pre measurement: questionnaire quantifying patient involvement and experience on a 5-p Likert scale. Post measurement: questionnaire quantifying patient involvement and experience on a 5-p Likert scale, questionnaire quantifying usability of the tool and in-depth interview. |
The implementation and visualisation of a digital care path, specifically designed for patients with type 2 diabetes and their care team.
The digital care path wil include: 1) a timeline with appointments, messages and questionnaires 2) Diabetes related articles 3) a page for monitoring clinical parameters and goals 4) a section displaying information on their care team and personal health records.
The aim of this intervention is to evaluate whether providing a central platform for all data will increase patient empowerment and involvement.
Secondly it will also evaluate whether the communication between healthcare professionals improves when selected data is readily available for the entire care team.

Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in patient empowerment and involvement
Prazo: For a minimum of 12 weeks
|
Primary outcome measures will be determined with the aid of a questionnaire scoring answers on a 5p-Likert scale. Due to limited availability of validated questionnaires in Dutch, a custom set of questions was generated. Starting from validated English questionnaires on each topic, the Delphi method was used to reach consensus in selecting the final questions. At the end of the study, an in-depth interview will take place with a predefined topic list. |
For a minimum of 12 weeks
