Innovative Concept Model Design for Linking Physicians to the System of Patient-Centered Care with Advancing Technologies in the World of Diabetes

Abstract

This concept paper applies the concepts of complex sociotechnical engineering systems to the care and management of type 2 diabetes. It also includes an innovative design model that integrates the existing ecosystem of care and management of diabetes. This model could potentially improve quality of care, create transparency of information between patient and physician and decrease the overall cost of care of diabetes.
