The Use of a Computer Assisted Diabetes Decision Support (CADS) System to Improve Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Are Treated by Primary Care Providers
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of CADS by primary care
providers (PCPs) for their patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) changes the quality of care
relative to a "usual care" group in terms of objective outcome measures of glycemic control
(e.g., A1c, mean blood glucose, frequency of hypoglycemic episodes) and in terms of
subjective ratings by patients.
providers (PCPs) for their patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) changes the quality of care
relative to a "usual care" group in terms of objective outcome measures of glycemic control
(e.g., A1c, mean blood glucose, frequency of hypoglycemic episodes) and in terms of
subjective ratings by patients.
The CADS software integrates the patient's home blood glucose data with appropriate
laboratory data (e.g. A1c, liver function, kidney function), demographic data (age, gender),
current and previous medications, and active/inactive medical diagnoses. The software makes
a recommendation about what medication changes are appropriate with potential alternates.
Providers with their patients are block randomized into CADS or "Usual Care" for 1 year.
