Abstract: Introduction: Advancements in diabetes technology have transformed diabetes management, yet technology implementation remains inconsistent due to barriers at both the clinician and patient levels. Team-based collaborative care offers a promising strategy to bridge these gaps. Framework: The Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM), which incorporates the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, was applied to identify clinician and patient-level barriers to technology implementation and guide development of team-based strategies for improvement. Application of this framework is illustrated through a rural primary care clinic implementing a remote patient monitoring program. Results: Analysis across RE-AIM domains identified team-based, interprofessional strategies for enhancing technology implementation and sustainability. Recommended strategies include structured onboarding and digital literacy support for both patients and clinicians, clear delineation of team roles and intentional integration of workflows, continuous quality improvement through feedback and huddles, and sustained organizational and policy support that ensures security, reimbursement, and equitable access. Conclusions: Application of the PRISM framework to improve diabetes technology implementation allows for translation of technological innovation into meaningful outcomes.
