Journal of Ambulatory Care Management 2005; 28:230-240. Healthcare service use was analyzed between a cohort of 400 veterans with diabetes who were enrolled in a patient-centered care coordination/home tele-health program and a cohort of 400 veterans with diabetes who did not receive the program. Significant differences in the need for primary-care visits and the likelihood of having one or more hospitalizations were apparent.

Clinics with regular physician meetings to discuss patient care problems and clinics that used diabetes registries were associated with lower 3-year costs. Quality-improvement strategies, focused on resource use related to diabetes care or heart disease, were also associated with lowered costs.

A decision support system was developed, based on the Chronic Care Model, to improve diabetes care for people who receive primary care in Vermont and New York; 7295 patients and 124 primary-care providers are enrolled in a program that provides flow sheets, reminders, action alerts and population reports.

This study was a 3-year controlled trial that examined whether interventions targeting clinical inertia can improve outcomes. Significant improvements were made in the endocrinologist-supported intervention group for HbA1c (-0.6%) compared with the control group. Similar trends were observed in systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.

This study was designed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of an adaptation of the Chronic Care Model for uninsured patients in a free medical clinic. Patients were enrolled in a chronic disease registry for 1 year for a free clinic. A clinically significant improvement was obtained in at least one chronic disease for 70 patients.

Randomized effectiveness trial of a computer-assisted intervention found significant improvements in both the number of laboratory assays and the patient-centered aspects of diabetes care compared with those in the control group. Overall improvements in HbA1c, quality of life and depression scores were observed.

Qualitative study analyzed the implementation activities of intervention organizations as part of a larger effectiveness evaluation of yearlong collaboratives. Sites averaged 30 different change efforts each to implement the Chronic Care Model. Fidelity to the model was high.

Diabetes Care 2006; 28:811-817. This study was a randomized-controlled trial that tested the effectiveness of implementing the entire Chronic Care Model into an underserved community. Marked declines in HbA1c and non-HDL cholesterol were observed. The proportion of subjects self-monitoring their blood glucose increased significantly following the intervention.

A randomized trial of a primary care-based disease management program to improve cardiovascular risk factors and glycated hemoglobin levels in patients with diabetes. Am J Med 2005; 118:276-284. Randomized-controlled trial found that subjects in a pharmacist-led, primary-care-based disease management program had significantly greater improvements in systolic blood pressure and HbA1c than the control group. The proportion of subjects using Aspirin therapy was also significantly higher in the intervention group.

Using elements of the Chronic Care Model, the number of ADA-recognized DSME sites increased, reductions in HbA1c levels were observed and an increase in the proportion of patients receiving diabetes self-management training occurred.

Pre/post study found that provider adherence to the ADA Standards of Care increased significantly across all process measures after implementation of the Chronic Care Model into a primary-care practice in rural Pennsylvania. Patients who received DSME in the practice gained improvements in diabetes knowledge, empowerment sc ores, HbA1c and HDL cholesterol levels.

Study aimed to test whether improvements in care quality were correlated with changes in the Chronic Care Model in a large medical group. Total ACIC scores increased, as did the proportion of patients meeting a composite outcome measure for LDL cholesterol and HbA1c.
