NCT00914706 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 39

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of using a web-based (P-PROMPT) chronic disease management system (CDMS) by primary care practitioners and their team members and on their care for patients with diabetes. The system will help to ensure that all patients have up-to-date laboratory monitoring and visits as recommended by the Canadian Diabetes Association Guidelines. The hypothesis is that the use of a CDMS in Ontario primary care practices, as a part of the routine clinical management of diabetes patients, can improve monitoring frequency of A1C, blood pressure (BP) and cholesterol levels. The results of this study will serve as a benchmark for the utilization of chronic disease management software tools in primary care diabetes management for patients in Ontario, establishing and providing evidence to inform decision-makers. If the results are favorable towards CDMS interventions for the management of diabetes, potential expansion and availability of these types of programs may be possible for other chronic diseases.
