Official title
Adherence and Intensification of Medications: A Population-Based Clinical Pharmacists Implementation Study Among Hypertensive Diabetes Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: Good blood pressure (BP) control among patients with diabetes is essential in preventing diabetes complications and has been found to be not only cost-effective but cost-saving. Nonetheless, over 25% of VA patients with diabetes do not have adequate BP control. Among these poorly controlled patients, over 65% have problems with medication adherence or inadequate intensification of medications. We therefore propose a partnership with the VA Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) Office and VISN 11 to evaluate a tailored clinical pharmacist-based intervention to improve medication management, adherence and BP control. Objectives: The specific objectives of this implementation study are: 1) To evaluate the effects of the intervention on blood pressure (primary outcome) and glycemic and lipid control (secondary outcomes); 2) To assess the impact of the intervention on patients' adherence to blood pressure, anti-hyperglycemic, and lipid-lowering regimens, and intensity of these regimens; 3) To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention compared to usual care; 4) To evaluate the level of attainment of intervention implementation, examine the process of intervention implementation, and determine the potential for sustainability.
