Clinical Trial Summary

This study tests an intervention designed to avoid 30-day readmissions following a medical hospitalization by patients who have co-occurring mental illness. The Intervention is delivered by community health workers in the inpatient setting and 30 days following hospital discharge to the community.


Description:

This study will test the efficacy of a brief intervention delivered to adults with co-occurring medical and mental health conditions by community health workers designed to avoid 30-day readmissions following medical hospitalization. Adult inpatients of a university hospital will be randomly assigned to the intervention plus services as usual versus services as usual alone, and assessed at baseline and 30 days following discharge. Chi square will be used to assess the primary outcome of admission within 30 days of discharge and changes in patient activation, mental health symptoms, medication adherence, and perceived competence for health maintenance. Also examined will be study condition differences in post-discharge inpatient service utilization and cost.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' measure of unplanned readmissions that occur within 30 days of discharge from an initial admission This is a dichotomous indicator variable that reports the occurrence of an inpatient admission to the hospital within 30 days of discharge from a previous hospitalization. Score ranges from 0 (no readmission) to 1 (readmission). 30 days post discharge
Primary Federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' measure of completion of a outpatient visit with primary care provider This is a dichotomous indicator variable that reports the completion of a patient's visit to an outpatient primary care provider during the 30 days period following discharge
Secondary Patient Activation Measure This scale measures the construct of a person's self-perceived ability to engage in health care. Items assess patients' self-perceived level of knowledge, skill, and confidence in their ability to manage their own health. Total score ranges from 13 to 52 with higher values indicating greater activation. Total score is calculated by summing items to create a raw score which is then divided by the number of items answered and multiplied by 13 and transformed to a Z score based on calibration tables. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Perceived Competence for Health Maintenance Questionnaire This scale measures the construct of self rated ability to manage one's health condition, engage in routine health care, and recover from a medical condition. Total score ranges from 1 to 7 with higher values indicating greater competence. Total score is calculated by averaging scores of the 4 items. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Short Form Health Survey This scale measures the construct of self-reported physical and emotional health by asking about functioning (e.g., climbing stairs, doing housework) and emotional well-being (e.g., feeling calm and peaceful, being downhearted or blue). Total score ranges from 12 to 44 with higher values indicating better health. Total score is the sum of all item responses. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Health Care Climate Questionnaire This scale measures the construct of a patients' perception of their medical care as as providing needed information, acknowledging their feelings, and supporting their autonomy. Total score ranges from 1 to 7 with higher values indicating greater autonomy. Total score is calculated by averaging the item scores. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of Usual Source of Medical Care These items from a national household survey ask respondents about their access to and type of usual source of medical care. Both items are categorical self-report questions designed to yield descriptive information with no scoring. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire This a questionnaire that measures the construct of patients' satisfaction with their medical provider by asking them to rate their doctor's communication, time spent, and overall satisfaction. Total score ranges from 6 to 30 with higher values indicating greater satisfaction. Total score is calculated by adding the item scores. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Patient Health Questionnaire-2 This is a screening questionnaire for depression and anhedonia that measures the extent to which respondents report that they are sad, hopeless, and have little interest in doing things. Total score ranges from 0 to 6 with higher values indicating greater likelihood of depressive disorder. Total score is calculated by adding the 2 item scores. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
Secondary Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item Questionnaire This is a screening questionnaire for generalized anxiety disorder that measures the extent to which respondents report that they are nervous, anxious, or continually worried. Total score ranges from 0 to 6 with higher values indicating greater likelihood of generalized anxiety disorder. Total score is calculated by adding the 2 item scores. study entry (pre-intervention), 30 days post discharge (post intervention)
