Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Technology Society virtually hosted the first meeting of the Integration of Connected Diabetes Device Data Into the Electronic Health Record #2 (iCoDE-2) Standards Project on May 31, 2023, via Zoom.

Methods: Clinicians, patients, data aggregators, informaticists, manufacturers, attorneys, and cybersecurity experts discussed dosing data currently available from insulin delivery devices and data aggregators and the types of information that patients and clinicians want to see. This information along with technical and regulatory aspects of (1) data standards and (2) integration into the electronic health record (EHR) are the basis of iCoDE-2.

Results: Six sessions were hosted discussing themes including (1) What's Currently Available: The Continuous Glucose Monitor Experience; (2) What's Currently Available: The Aggregator Experience; (3) What's Currently Available: The Insulin Pump Experience; (4) What's Currently Available: The Insulin Pen Experience; (5) What Do Clinicians and Patients Want Out of iCoDE-2 Data?; and (6) Technical and Regulatory Aspects of Data Aggregation.

Conclusion: Additional working group meetings to discuss data standard and clinical workflow will be held to create additional technical specifications and clinical workflows to aid in insulin dosing data integration into the EHR. A mid-project meeting will convene in the second half of 2023.
