Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study seeks to evaluate a low-literacy strategy in a primary health care setting for promoting safe and effective prescription medication use among English and Spanish-speaking patients with diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that in comparison with patients receiving standard care, the patients that received the Electronic Health Record (EHR) strategy will 1) demonstrate better understanding of how to safely dose out their medication regimen; 2) have fewer discrepancies in their medication lists; 3) take their medication regimen more efficiently; 4) have greater adherence to their medication regimen.
