Partnering With Families Through Shared Decision-Making to Increase Connected Pen Use: A Quality Improvement Success Story.

Quality Improvement Success Stories are published by the American Diabetes Association in collaboration with the American College of Physicians and the National Diabetes Education Program. This series is intended to highlight best practices and strategies from programs and clinics that have successfully improved the quality of care for people with diabetes or related conditions. Each article in the series is reviewed and follows a standard format developed by the editors of Clinical Diabetes. The following article is part of a special article collection from the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative. It describes efforts at an academic pediatric diabetes clinic in Memphis, TN, to increase both the use of connected insulin pens (CIPs) and shared decision-making around diabetes technology aided by patient information and self-reflection handouts.
