Vulnerable Patients in Primary Care: Nurse Case Management &

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to implement a pragmatic intervention in four (4) family medicine groups(FMGs) in the region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (Quebec, Canada)for patients with chronic diseases.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic diseases represent a major health burden worldwide. Some people with chronic diseases require a higher level of care due to personal characteristics that increase their vulnerability. For these patients, nurse effective case management in primary care are associated with positive outcomes. Moreover, self-management programs, such as the standford program developed by the School of Medicine at the University of Standford in California (USA), are also recognized for their benefits on patients with chronic diseases.

The aim of our project is to implement, within four (4) FMGs of the region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean , a practical intervention involving case management by a nurse to promote interdisciplinary person-centered monitoring and self-management support for highly vulnerable individuals with chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases and/or chronic pain).

The objectives of our study : 1) To analyze the implementation of the intervention in the participating FMGs in order to determine how the various contexts have influenced the implementation and the observed effects; 2) To evaluate the proximal and intermediate effects of the intervention on patients; 3) To conduct an economic analysis of the effectiveness and cost-benefit of the intervention.

The analysis of the implementation will be conducted using realistic evaluation approaches and participatory practice within four categories of key players (FMG stakeholders, FMG/health center managers, patients and their families, health center partners or communities). The data will be obtained through individual or group interviews, literature reviews and documentation from the intervention undertaken. The evaluation of the effects in patients will be based on a pragmatic randomized experimental design before and after (six months) with delayed intervention in the control group. Economic analysis will include a cost-effectiveness analysis and a cost-benefit analysis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
