BACKGROUND: Methods to deliver diabetes education are needed to support patient safety and glycemic control in the transition from hospital to home. CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a web-based DSSE program for inpatients needs adaptation to overcome challenges at the patient, care team, and process levels. METHODS: Nurses, nurse managers, and patient care technicians (PCTs) from 3 medical-surgical and 2 behavioral health units participated in semistructured interviews and focus groups. PURPOSE: This study examined barriers and facilitators of integrating web-based, iPad-delivered diabetes survival skills education (DSSE) into the nursing inpatient unit workflow. RESULTS: Four themes emerged: educational program and content; platform usability; tablet feasibility (eg, theft prevention, infection control, and charging); and workflow considerations. Behavioral health unit-specific concerns were also identified. Findings indicated that nurses and PCTs were eager to find approaches to deliver DSSE.
