Abstract
There is no validated framework to evaluate health information technology (HIT) for diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES). AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors is a patient-centered DSMES designed by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). We developed a codebook based on the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors principles as an evaluation framework. In this commentary, we demonstrate the real-life applications of this codebook through three diabetes research studies. The first study analyzed features of mobile diabetes applications. The second study evaluated provider documentation patterns in electronic health records (EHRs) to deliver ongoing patient-centered DSMES. The third study analyzed feedback messages from diabetes apps. We found that this codebook, based on AADE7, can be instrumental as a framework for research, as well as real-life use in HIT for DSMES principles.
