Summary

In this project the investigators seek to utilize our experience for developing a comprehensive informatics framework for rapid adaptation and dissemination of Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) products tailored to different categories of health consumers including difficult-to-reach patients. Based on our previous successful experience in computer-assisted education, the investigators will refine the current CO-ED platform to implement and test a novel system for individualized continuous patient education (iCOPE). The iCOPE platform will be specifically designed to support rapid adaptation, customization, and dissemination of the CER products to the difficult-to-reach populations. The iCOPE platform will implement universal means for customized delivery of CER information in the format of interactive self-paced educational modules, quick "question \& answer" guides, and interactive decision aids. In addition, the iCOPE platform will support the innovative concept of continuous patient health education by providing patients with easy access to the interactive CER updates via web, MP3 players and phone-based interactive voice response (IVR) technology. Though iCOPE will be designed to support the whole spectrum of CER products, in this project the investigators will focus on the Comparative Effectiveness Research Summary Guide (CERSG) entitled "Pills for Type 2 Diabetes."

The following primary hypothesis will be tested in the RCT: Use of the iCOPE platform will be associated with improvement in CERSG knowledge in elderly at 6 months after the intervention.

The investigators will also examine the impact of iCOPE on medication adherence self-efficacy, diabetes medication satisfaction, HbA1c, and CERSG acceptance.

iCOPE Intervention group

The study participants in the intervention group will use iCOPE platform providing adapted CERSG content in an interactive and tailored way. The intervention provided by the iCOPE platform will be implemented with the understanding that it should be user-friendly and not time consuming. Initially, all participants will be asked to complete the computer-mediated interactive CERSG module via touch screen tablet PC provided at hospital, in a primary care office, and in senior centers. The total time to complete the curriculum is about 30 min, however the patients will be able to distribute this time throughout a day at their convenience. Once the educational curriculum is completed, the intervention subjects will receive access to other components of the iCOPE platform.
