Filter by:This study aims to address the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes by assessing the impact of the FOR-Care model on preventive medicine. The model focuses on improving the documentation of blood pressure, height, and weight in outpatient settings. Through a cluster randomized trial at National Taiwan University Hospital, clinics will either implement the FOR-Care model or continue with usual care. The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in documenting these measurements and its impact on diagnosing hypertension and diabetes. The outcomes will provide valuable insights into enhancing preventive medicine and improving care for chronic diseases.

This is a strict observational study without any intervention.
