NCT ID: NCT05719870 Recruiting - Aging Clinical Trials

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improve Adherence to Medical Recommendations in Older Adults

APPROACH
Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background and overall goal: Poor comprehension and medication adherence are common in older people, especially after hospitalizations, in case of changes or prescriptions of new therapeutic regimes. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidomain intervention with an integrated care approach, in improving medication adherence in older people after hospital discharge. A secondary aim is investigate the determinants of poor comprehension and medication adherence in such individuals. Target population: The project will involve older patients hospitalized in a Geriatric Department and discharged at home, and (when present) their caregivers. Methods and assessments: Upon hospital discharge, data from the comprehensive geriatric assessment and information on the present hospitalization and prescribed therapies will be collected for all participants. The comprehension of medical recommendations reported in the discharge summary will be evaluated for all patients/caregiver before and after the routine explanation by treating physicians. Participants will be then randomized in intervention vs. control group. The intervention will include: first, educational training of patients/caregivers at hospital discharge by a multidisciplinary team; second, after hospital discharge, a phone recall on the prescribed therapies and a one-week phone consultant service managed by a geriatrician, supported by the multidisciplinary team, to address potential concerns on prescribed treatments. Control group will follow usual care. After 7 days medication adherence will be assessed for both study groups through structured phone interviews. At 30 and 90 days from discharge, data on falls, rehospitalizations and vital status will be collected through hospital records.

NCT ID: NCT05226182 Recruiting - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Visualisation of a Digital Care Pathway.

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

As part of the EFRO (Europees Fonds Regionale Ontwikkeling) 1302 project "Digital Care Support in Practice with Limburg as a Stepping Stone for Flanders", this study aims to evaluate the concept and added value of visualising a personal digital care pathway for patients with type 2 diabetes. Firstly, this chronological visualisation of data strives to improve patient experience and empowerment by offering educational articles and personal medical data relevant to their care path in one place. This way, patients will have more insight in the pathogenesis, treatments, complications and goals, allowing the patients to optimize their selfcare and become confident in dealing with their chronic condition. From time to time, patients will also be asked to complete questionnaires concerning their experiences (PREM) to aid healthcare professionals in personalizing treatment goals. Secondly, the healthcare providers and caregivers surrounding the patient will also have access to the same data, allowing for a more personal approach as well as means to communicate with other members of the care team.
