Objective:
This study explores how a shared-viewer data platform, SAMBLIK-diabetes, supports clinical supervision and cross-sector collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and hospital specialists in the management of complex type 2 diabetes cases.
Methods:
A qualitative process evaluation was undertaken within a multi-regional roll-out of SAMBLIK-diabetes in Denmark. Semi-structured interviews and observations explored how using the platform's shared-view function supported telephone conferences between GPs, practice nurses, and endocrinologists. Data were analysed and categorized inductively.
Results:
Out of 21 participating clinicians, 16 reported that the shared-view platform enhanced clarity, efficiency, and equity in communication. The ability to see identical patient data-such as HbA1c trajectories, medication history and renal function-fostered shared situational awareness and mutual confidence. Barriers to use included inconsistent platform use, difficulty isolating the unique contribution of the platform to care coordination, and an unresolved gap in enabling nurses to initiate hospital specialist contact.
Conclusions:
SAMBLIK-diabetes demonstrates how a shared-view platform visualizing patient data can strengthen cross-sectoral dialogue and clinical reasoning in chronic disease management. To ensure sustainability, governance clarity, seamless workflow integration, and professional training are essential.
