Brief Summary

In this quality improvement program (DKD-TMT), patients will be recruited from multiple sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 300 type 2 diabetic patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to the UC (n=100, usual care) group, the EC (n=100, empowered care) group, or the TEC (n=100, team-based, empowered care) group. Patients in all 3 groups will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) portal at baseline and at month 12. They will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life and psychological distress during the CA at both time points.

During the 12 months between the 2 CAs:

* Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution.

* Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns.

* Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly.

The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Hypothesis: Patient empowerment and team-based care augmented by the JADE program with features of risk stratification and decision support improves multiple risk factor control in Asian type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease. Attaining multiple treatment targets reduces all diabetes-related endpoints in these high risk patients.

Objectives: To use the JADE program which 1) includes task delegation and change in workflow augmented by 2) a web-based portal consisting of features of risk stratification, feedback, recommendations and decision support to set up a DKD registry in order to 1) document control of risk factors and care standards in real practice in Asian type 2 diabetic patients; 2) empower doctors and patients to make informed decisions and 3) use a team approach to treat to multiple targets and reduce all diabetes related clinical outcomes.

Study design: This will be a multicentre randomized translational program to compare the effects of usual care (UC) versus empowered care (EC) versus team-based, empowered care (TEC) on risk factor control and clinical outcomes in 3000 patients with DKD in Asian countries.

Intervention: All patients will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the JADE portal at baseline and at month 12. All patients will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life (EQ-5D-3L, WHOQOL-BREF, and a Time Trade-Off (TTO) question) and psychological distress (PHQ-9 and DASS-21) during the CA at baseline and at month 12.

During the 12 months between the 2 CAs:

* Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution.

* Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns.

* Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly.

Outcome: The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.
