Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions
Children/Youth With Special Healthcare Needs
Interventions
Other: Caremap app
Registration Number
NCT05056493
Lead Sponsor
Duke University
Brief Summary

This study will implement a new mobile application ('app') called Caremap to improve care coordination for patients with complex health needs. The goal is to pilot test the mobile app with patients/families and clinic doctors to gather input on how well the app works and how to make it better. Investigators plan to enroll up to 40 participants from Duke University for this study. The study is sponsored by Duke's Institute for Health Innovation.

GroupInterventionDescription
Parent/CaregiversCaremap appPatient and parent/caregiver subjects from the participating clinic sites will be enrolled. These participants are all adults - parents or caregivers of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and adult patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) who are already receiving care at Duke Health.
Clinical ProvidersCaremap appClinical provider site champions will be invited to participate in web-based quantitative surveys and a semi-structured interview
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Implementation feasibility as measured by feasibility intervention measure (FIM)6 months

The feasibility intervention measure is a 4 item survey using a 5-level Likert scale (1=completely disagree; 5=completely agree).

Change in parent report of their child's health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), as measured by the PROMIS (7+2) Parent Proxy Global Health SurveyBaseline, 3 months, 6 months

For participants who are parents of children with complex health needs, the PROMIS (7+2) Pediatric Global Health Survey is a 9-item parent-reported survey that gathers parent perspectives on their child's overall HR-QOL. Four of the 9 survey items use a 5-level Likert scale with 1=poor and 5=excellent; three of the 9 survey items use a 5-level Likert scale with 1=never and 5=always; and three of the 9 survey items use a 5-level Likert scale with 1=never and 5=almost always.

Technical feasibility as measured by proportion of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-enabled data transfer request that were successfully executedWeekly, up to 6 months

Technical feasibility will be defined as proportion of requests for transfer of patient-level data between the electronic health record (EHR) and the app that were successfully completed.

Changes in perceptions of care integration as measured by Pediatric Integrated care survey (PICS)Baseline, 6 months

The PICS is a 20-item survey that gathers parents perspectives on the degree of care integration received by their child using a 6-level Likert scale (1=never; 6=always).

Change in patient-reported health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), as measured by the PROMIS Global Health SurveyBaseline, 3 months, 6 months

For participants who are adult patients with complex health needs, the PROMIS Global Health Survey is a 10-item patient-reported survey that gathers patient perspectives on their own overall HR-QOL. Six of the 9 survey items use a 5-level Likert scale with 1=poor and 5=excellent; one of the 9 survey items uses a 5-level Likert scale with 1=not at all and 5=completely; one of the 9 survey items uses a 5-level Likert scale with 1=never and 5=always; one of the 9 survey items uses a 5-level Likert scale with 1=none and 5=very severe; and one of the 9 survey items uses a 0-10 scale (0=no pain; 10=worst pain imaginable).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mobile app usability as measured by the System Usability Scale (SUS)6 months

The System Usability Scale is a 10 item survey that gathers user-reported ratings (from parents/patients and providers) of the usability of the Caremap app

Change in parent/caregiver self-management, as measured by the Parent-Patient Activation Measure (P-PAM)Baseline, 6 months

The Parent-Patient Activation Measure (P-PAM) is a 13-item parent-reported survey that uses a 4-level Likert scale (1=disagree strongly; 4=agree strongly).

Changes in adoption as measured by quantitative measurement of app engagement by patient or parent/caregiverWeekly, up to 6 months

App engagement will be defined by number of app log-ins by the parent/patient

Changes in caregiver or patient report of global health status as measured by a numeric rating scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent)Weekly for 6 months

The numeric rating scale is 1 question

Changes in acute and outpatient healthcare utilization, as measured by summary of clinical encountersBaseline, 6 months

Acute encounters include hospital admissions and emergency department visits; and outpatient encounters include primary and specialty clinic visits

Changes in adoption as measured by quantitative measurement of app prescription by providerMonthly, up to 6 months

App prescription is the process by which a clinical providers recommends the app to their patient(s) by sending the link for downloading the app, app user overview materials, and study-related materials (including e-informed consent) to the patient directly through the EHR online patient portal. This process is called a "digital prescription" of the app and will be tracked as a marker of app adoption by providers.

Adaptations made by families and providers during real-world use as measured by surveyMonthly, up to 6 months

Adaptation survey is a 5-item item survey based on the published Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-Based Interventions (FRAME) and is designed to gather patient/parent and providers perspectives on how they have adapted the use and implementation of Caremap in real-world settings.

Change in patient activation and ability to self manage chronic conditions, as measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM)Baseline, 6 months

The PAM is a 13-item survey that uses a 4-level Likert scale (1=disagree strongly; 4=agree strongly).

Changes in adoption as measured by quantitative measurement of app engagement by providerMonthly, up to 6 months

App engagement will be defined by number of views of the clinician dashboard by the provider
