Brief Summary

The objective of this proposal is to pilot test two types of pre-visit planning, where clinical staff reviews charts and talks to patients before their doctors appointments, to reduce the burden of diabetes care on the patient without increasing the visit workload during busy primary care clinics.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pilot acceptability)after each clinic visit, within 2 weeks; at end of study

a short survey measuring PCPs perception of the visit's difficulty, hassle and effort; qualittive interviews with patients, providers and those conducting the intervention PVP calls

Pilot feasibilityat completion of study, 4 months after last study visit

patients reached by phone for PVP call after assigned to call; # patients recruited successfully who were eligible; # questions completed on the surveys; # calls made to each patient and to patients total per # patients reached and # patients enrolled; # patients who completed all surveys; qualitative interviews will discuss challenges, barriers, and other feasability concerns to scaling this pilot trial to a definitive multi-center trial

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HgbA1c valuechange from baseline to 4 months post visit

change in A1c level from baseline to post-study, using values nearest to study start and end dates

Treatment Burden of Diabetes Care Questionnaire (TBQ)change from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated survey that measures patient self-assessment of chronic disease care burden; 13 items on a 5 point Likert scale, 13-65, higher score is worse

Healthcare Climate Questionnaire (HCQ)change from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated survey of patient experience with their healthcare; 6 items on a 7 point Likert scale, 6-42, higher score is better

Blood pressure measurementchange from baseline to 4 months post visit

systolic and diastolic blood pressure value pre and psot study, using measures closest to study start and end date, and area-under-the-curve for blood pressure in between.

Patient Experience with Treatment and Self-Management (PETS) Questionnaire Medical Expenses Subsectionchange from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated survey that measures patient's self-assessed ability to handle financial aspects of chronic disease care; 5 items on a 5 point Likert scale, 5-25, higher score is worse

Patient Self-Activation Measure (PAM-13) short formchange from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated measure of patient participation in their own healthcare; 13 items on a 4 point Likert scale, 13-52, higher score is better

Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scalechange from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated survey on the patients perception of their ability to care for their diabetes; 8 items on a 5 point Likert scale, 8-40 higher score is worse

Body Mass Indexchange from baseline to 4 months post visit

Body Mass Index change from beginning of study to the end of the study, using most recent height available

Physician Job Satisfaction Scalechange from baseline to 4 months post visit

validated survey on elements of physician job satisfaction

SF-12, Short Form 12 questions Health Surveychange from baseline to 4 months post visit

a validated 12 question survey on patient's physical and mental health

Discussion of social determinants of health (SDH) during clinic visit, self-reportedafter each clinic visit, within 2 weeks

a single question survey, self-reporting by the participant, if SDH were discussed between the doctor and the patient during the visit

Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnelchange from baseline to 4 months post visit
Anxiety Symptomschange from baseline to 4 months post visit

change in symptom score, as measured by GAD2 (0-6, higher is worse) or GAD7 (0-21, higher is worse), as available, done within one month of study start and after visit by study end

Depression symptomschange from baseline to 4 months post visit

change in symptom score, as measured by PHQ2 (0-6, higher is worse) or PHQ9 (0-27, higher is worse), as available, done within one month of study start and after visit by study end
