Cardiometabolic Care-team Integration in Primary Care Improves Outcomes in Diabetes: a Pragmatic, Case-controlled Study

A pragmatic, quasi-experimental (non-randomized) design was used to evaluate clinical and cost outcomes among patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D) at two primary care clinics (n=1 intervention, n=1 usual care) between March 2012 and September 2014. At the intervention clinic, the 12-month Cardio-metabolic Care-Team Intervention (CMC-TI) was delivered to all qualifying patients; surveys were administered to evaluate relevant patient-reported outcomes over 12 months, and a process evaluation gauged CMC-TI feasibility and satisfaction.
