Brief summary
This observational study will seek to adapt a digital diabetes prevention program (dDPP) tool suite into clinical workflows. This tool pushes key dDPP data elements (e.g. weight and daily step count) directly into EHR workflows of primary care to enhance patient engagement. It seeks to determine the impact of combining adapted visualizations and summaries of key dDPP data elements directly into the EHR with automated notifications and messaging designed to enhance patient engagement in the dDPP. The study will involve provider workflow analysis based on observation and facilitated group tool adaptation sessions.
Detailed description

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usability will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale | 12 Months | 5 point likert scale is measured on a 5 point scale, 1 being very unsatisfied and 5 being very satisfied. Higher scores mean more usability |
