Official title
The Effectiveness of Nurse Practitioner Led Group Visits in Improving Compliance With Diabetic Preventative Services and Modifying Vascular Risk
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of group visits led by nurse practitioners in improving diabetic preventive services and vascular risk. Diabetes is notable for its high burden on the health of urban populations, a rich literature supporting evidenced based care, and great opportunities to apply systemic primary care interventions to reduce its toll. Extensive literature demonstrates sub-optimal care in the community as well as in academic centers. Addressing the needs of patients with diabetes is challenging in the primary-care environment and nurse case management and disease-specific group visits which focus on education and self-management skills have been shown to be useful adjuncts to traditional outpatient care. The study will attempt to demonstrate that nurse practitioner run group visits, during which the NP will provide didactic education, facilitate group interaction, and arrange referrals and laboratory testing as appropriate, will improve compliance with established American Diabetes Association guidelines for screening and preventive care and in doing so lower cardiovascular risk. Satisfaction with care, quality of life, and diabetic knowledge will be assessed before and after the patients complete the program. In addition, we will attempt to characterize barriers to care for patients who were formerly established with a primary care physician in the Primary Care Group, but who have not received diabetic care there for at least one year.
