Description:Objective
To describe the process by which a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) in the area of occupational health and primary care developed a clinical decision support (CDS) tool addressing work-related issues, which are important in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The CDS is intended for primary care clinicians caring for employed adults with DM.
Methods
The SME’s selected guidelines for the management of DM in working adults, reviewed pertinent literature, and developed specific recommendations for action in the clinical setting.
Results
Multiple factors at work may adversely affect DM management. Clinicians can support working patients through education and care strategies to improve control.
Conclusions
Improved recognition of factors at work that can have an impact on DM care provides opportunities for improved management of DM among working adults.
