Description: |
There are several challenges in diabetes care management including optimizing the currently used therapies, educating patients on selfmanagement, and improving patient lifestyle and systematic healthcare barriers. The purpose of performing a systems approach to implementation science aided by artificial intelligence techniques in diabetes care is two-fold: 1) to explicate the systems approach to formulate predictive analytics that will simultaneously consider multiple input and output variables to generate an ideal decision-making solution for an optimal outcome; and 2) to incorporate contextual and ecological variations in practicing diabetes care coupled with specific health educational interventions as exogenous variables in prediction. A similar taxonomy of modeling approaches proposed by Brennon et al (2006) is formulated to examining the determinants of diabetes care outcomes in program evaluation. The discipline-free methods used in implementation science research, applied to efficiency and quality-of-care analysis are presented. Finally, we illustrate a logically formulated predictive analytics with efficiency and quality criteria included for evaluation of behavioralchange intervention programs, with the time effect included, in diabetes care and research. |
