【 摘 要 】

Developing a Web-based tool that involves the input, buy-in, andcollaboration of multiple stakeholders and contractors is a complex process.Several elements facilitated the development ofthe Web-basedDiabetes Indicators and Data Sources Internet Tool (DIDIT). The DIDIT isdesigned to enhance the ability of staff within the state-basedDiabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs) and the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC) to perform diabetes surveillance. It containsinformation on 38 diabetes indicators (measures of health or factorsassociated with health) and 12 national- and state-level data sources. Developing the DIDITrequired one contractor to conduct research on content for diabetes indicatorsand data sources and another contractor to develop the Web-based applicationto house and manage the information. During 3 years, a work group composed ofrepresentatives from the DPCPs and the Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT)at the CDC guided the development process by 1) gathering information on andcommunicating the needs of users and their vision for the DIDIT, 2) reviewing and approving content, and 3) providing input into the design and system functions. Strong leadership and vision of the project lead,clear communication and collaboration among all team members, and acommitment from the management of the DDT were essential elements in developing and implementing the DIDIT. Expertise in diabetes surveillanceand software development, enthusiasm, and dedication were also instrumental indeveloping the DIDIT.
