NCT ID: NCT03748420 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Medication Adherence Clinical Decision Support

ADH-Wizard
Start date: August 19, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

More than 50% of adults treated for diabetes, hypertension, or lipid disorders have suboptimal medication adherence, a prominent barrier to continued improvement in chronic disease care in the United States. Primary care providers (PCPs) often fail to identify medication nonadherence and/or have insufficient time and training to address underlying reasons for it. In this project, we propose a patient-centered and technology-driven strategy to identify patients with adherence issues and apply a team approach to help them achieve evidence-based personalized goals for glucose, blood pressure, or lipids. This intervention extends the use of a widely available clinical decision support (CDS) infrastructure to support a model of care that, for the first time outside of a fully integrated care environment, will integrate pharmacists within the primary care team. The intervention relies on a continuous health informatics loop to do the following: (a) identify high-risk patients with adherence problems at the point of care by expanding the capability of an electronic medical record (EMR)-linked CDS to identify poor adherence to medications; (b) establish and maintain an auto-populating up-to-date registry of patients identified for proactive pharmacist outreach; (c) implement a pharmacist outreach strategy based on an information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) framework recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) with demonstrated ability to influence adherence across a variety of clinical applications; and (d) coordinate care and adherence information by incorporating pharmacist assessment and action plans into CDS at subsequent office encounters.

NCT ID: NCT03324386 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypertension, Resistant to Conventional Therapy

The Use of Educational Technology in Improving Adherence Therapy

Start date: December 18, 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Few studies show the benefits of educational technologies a support for the control of chronic diseases. The approach known as 'embracement' adopts relational strategies or soft technologies which promote bonding and may impact therapy adherence and quality of life in hypertensive patients.Objectives:To assess the impact of the embracement approach on therapy adherence, quality of life, and the white coat effect in hypertensive outpatients followed in a specialized clinic. This approach may be associated or not with the use of educational technology in a virtual learning environment(VLE) for distance learning (DL) and with use the educational technology in Blended E-learning (E-BLENDED)

NCT ID: NCT01709097 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Adherence

Compliance/Adherence After Kidney Transplant, With or With Out Med-O-Wheel™.

C/A
Start date: June 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Background: Adherence to the immunosuppressive drug regimen is critical to the outcome after an organ transplant. Patients need to take their prescribed medications and attend their appointments with the doctor. Based on previous studies in other European countries, the cost of non-compliance after organ transplantation in Sweden is >SEK 35 million/year. Patients who lose their graft both lose quality of life and have decreased expected survival; moreover, retransplantation may be hampered by new HLA antibodies. Question: The primary question is whether Med-O-Wheel™ can improve compliance to the prescribed medication regimen in renal transplant patients. Methods and materials: All kidney transplant patients at Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, will be given information about the study and will then be asked to participate. Participants will be randomized into two arms, one arm with and one with out Med-O-Wheel™. The 80 included patients will be closely monitored for 1 year regarding intake of prescribed medications. Med-O-Wheel™ is an electronic medication dispenser that records the date and time of each occasion when the patient takes medications from the dispenser. It has a SIM card and text messaging capabilities. Addoz Portal™ is a web-based application that makes it possible to monitor and analyse medication intake. Each event in the medication dispenser is registered in the portal, which communicates with the care provider/support person by text message, e-mail or telephone. Significance of the study: In the future it may be possible to improve compliance in transplant patients. In particular, patients will feel secure since they will receive confirmation through the portal that they are taking their medications safely and accurately.

NCT ID: NCT01600677 Terminated - Clinical trials for Medication Adherence

Determining the Impact of a Medication Delivery Unit on Medication Adherence of Adults With Common Cardiac Conditions

EMMA-RCT
Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The research study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary endpoint is to compare medication adherence of adult patients recently hospitalized with a diagnosis of common cardiac conditions who require medication assistance either by receiving usual care or by using a medication delivery unit. The overall study will last a total of 12 months. Each subject will be enrolled for a period of 90 days.

NCT ID: NCT01430702 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Medication Adherence

Feasibility of Using a Telemedicine Medication Delivery Unit for Older Adults

EMMA
Start date: September 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Care transition interventions have been successful in reducing medication-related problems and associated rehospitalization primarily by focusing on medication reconciliation conducted by trained healthcare professionals. Programs to improve the medication reconciliation process have largely been effective, but have limitations including the expense associated with recruiting, training, and retaining care transition healthcare professionals (e.g., nurses and nurse practitioners) the ability to provide services within a finite geographic area, and the retrospective nature of the reconciliation process which usually occurs in the home following hospital discharge. Our short-term objective is to use Pennsylvania Department of Aging resources to assess the feasibility of using a telemedicine medication delivery unit for frail older adults that require medication assistance in their home immediately following an acute hospitalization. As part of this feasibility assessment, the investigators will assess (1) recruitment process and procedures, (2) data collection procedures, (3) resource utilization, (4) drop-out rates, (5) acceptability and usability of the EMMA® telemedicine medication delivery unit, (6) medication adherence, and (7) medication-reconciliation errors during transition from hospital to home.
