The PROMPT trial evidences that electronic best practice advisories (BPAs) significantly increased referrals to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) from a baseline of ~1% to approximately 13% over 18 months. Adding standing orders for nurses or medical assistants sustained these improvements. This intervention highlights the potential of electronic health record (EHR) tools to address suboptimal DSMES engagement in type 2 diabetes care.
