The Effect of a Coordinated Inpatient Diabetes Education Program in the Outpatient Setting

NCT00657800 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2010-09-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients will be recruited from comparable inpatient units that have been randomized as either interventional (Group 1) or control (Group 2) units. Patients in the interventional group will receive a comprehensive individualized diabetes education program coordinated by a certified diabetes educator. Patients in Group 2 will receive education from clinical staff as it is typically provided. Assessment of patient satisfaction with both inpatient and outpatient care, quality of life, and diabetes self-management skills (including emergency room visits and readmissions) will be measured using surveys completed during hospitalization and 4 months after discharge to determine any differences between the two groups.
