OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Missed appointments (MAs) negatively impact the health outcomes of adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), causing disruptions in clinic operation and added financial cost to healthcare providers and systems. This study aimed to identify risk factors for MAs in both in-person and telehealth settings among adults living with T2DM. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using a sequential multi-method design guided by the modified Quality-Caring Model, the quantitative phase of this study used electronic health records (EHR) data in Calendar Years 2019 and 2020 with 7,276 encounters made by 2,235 patients with T2DM from four diabetes clinics within a tertiary academic medical center in Baltimore, MD. Multivariable random effect logistic regression were used to examine the association between MAs and included predictors (i.e., patient characteristics [e.g., age, race, health status], health provider factors [e.g., types of provider], and health system factors [e.g., scheduling lag]). Based on the results of the quantitative phase, a purposive sample of 23 adults with T2DM and 10 providers were then interviewed individually via phone or zoom. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The EHR data found that the following variables decreased the odds of MAs: having an activated patient portal account, patients with age over 46 or with white race. Telehealth was associated with 50% decreased odds of MAs during COVID (after 3/23/2020). On the other hand, longer scheduling lag increased the odds of MAs. Qualitative interviews revealed that MAs were often related to social needs, such as lack of/limited health-related transportation and its associated financial burden. Telehealth helped break these barriers for some adults with T2DM, but technical challenges in telehealth persisted for those with low digital health literacy and people who did not have a digital device and/or with unstable internet connection. Providers worried that these challenges might undermine the quality of diabetes care. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Disparities in MAs by age and race were noted, which might reflect the impact of unmeasured social needs in EHR. Perceived convenient telehealth may reduce MAs in T2DM care. However, the persistent technical challenges of telehealth should be addressed to optimize the quality of diabetes care and to promote care continuity for underserved populations.
