532-P: Assessment of Impact of Online CE Activity within a Curriculum at Improving Primary Care Provider Knowledge, Competence, and Confidence regarding T2D Treatment Intensification

Résumé fourni par la source

Introduction and Objective: We sought to determine if an online continuing medical education (CME) activity within a curriculum could improve the clinical knowledge, competence and confidence of PCPs related to treatment intensification. Methods: The CME intervention was a 30-min online, active learning discussion with point-of-care tools. The effect was assessed using a linked, matched pre-/post-assessment design. A paired samples t-test was conducted for significance testing and a McNemar test was conducted at the question level (5% significance level, P <.05). Confidence was assessed using a Likert scale. The activity posted December 20, 2023, and data were collected through August 2024. Results: 128 PCPs answered all questions and were included. Overall baselines were similar to results from a previously reported assessment (ADA 2024). Within this activity, these gaps were addressed, resulting in significant knowledge/competence improvements. Treatment goals: 68% (P<.001) improved at identifying weight management for people with T2D and 43% (P<.001) improved at identifying a glycemic goal for a given patient. T2D guidelines: 48% (P<.001) improved at identifying weight loss goal for person with T2D and 42% (P<.001) improved at recognizing T2D agents with very high glucose and weight efficacy according to guidelines. 46% (P<.001) demonstrated improvement related to competence in applying strategies for shared decision-making in T2D management. 28% measurable improvement in learners who were confident after the activity (P<.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the success of an online, active learning CME activity with point-of-care tools on improving knowledge, competence and confidence of PCPs related to T2D treatment intensification. Impact of these knowledge/competence/confidence improvements will be measured in a real world outcomes assessment in 2025. Disclosure A. Larkin: None. A. Le: None.
