Implementing Scalable, PAtient-centered, Team-based, Technology-enabled Care for Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (iPATH)
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Sixteen institutions will be selected from a HRSA uniform data system and have data collected for up to 3 years. Eight institutions will begin the iPATH practice transformation during year one, the other eight institutions will begin iPATH in year two. FQHC administrators, clinicians and staff will be enrolled to participate in the iPATH transformation in their clinic and will participate in qualitative interviews. Patient HbA1c data from the clinics will be collected for comparative data analysis during each year of the study.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Two largest clinic sites in multi-clinic FQHCs operating in or near Massachusetts, Ohio, California, Puerto Rico * We will prioritize FQHCs performing in the lower half of the distribution for A1c control, as these FQHCs have greater room for improvement. Exclusion Criteria: * FQHCs that have a patient population comprised of more than 80% children * FQHCs that have a patient population multiplied by the FQHC's diabetes prevalence in the lowest 10% of all the clinics * FQHCs that have fewer than 5,000 or more than 50,000 patients.
