• Nurse practitioners (NPs) can provide interactive, computer-based education on diabetes self-management.
• NPs can provide feedback in the electronic medical record about patients’ responses to the education session.
As diabetes rates continue to rise and health care continues to change, nurse practitioners will be a key component in improving the care of patients with diabetes and related comorbidities. This quality improvement project determined if a nurse practitioner–led, computer-based diabetes education intervention would be feasible in an office practice setting and if it would enhance diabetes care. An improvement in hemoglobin A1C was observed, and study participants, practice staff, and office managers had an overall positive response to the intervention’s use.
