- Original description
This goal of this NIH funded R01 study is to identify risk factors for not being able to follow-up for a new diagnosis of diabetes in the emergency department and improve linkage of these newly diagnosed patients to appropriate outpatient care. Its three aims will be accomplished through 1) a retrospective chart review of emergency department (ED) patients screened for diabetes, 2) a series of prospective qualitative interviews among ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes who fail to follow-up for outpatient care, and 3) a simple randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of telehealth bridge visits to connect ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes to outpatient primary care.Read full original descriptionShow less
Identifying Risk Factors for Poor Glycemic Control Among Emergency Department Patients and Improving Linkage to Outpatient Care
This goal of this NIH funded R01 study is to identify risk factors for not being able to follow-up for a new diagnosis of diabetes in the emergency department and improve linkage of these newly diagnosed patients to appropriate outpatient care. Its three aims will be accomplished through 1) a retrospective chart review of emergency department (ED) patients screened for diabetes, 2) a series of prospective qualitative interviews among ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes who fail to follow-up for outpatient care, and 3) a simple randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of telehealth bridge visits to connect ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes to outpatient primary care.
