Improving Insulin Therapy With Enhanced Care Management

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Diabetes

In brief

VA diabetes patients often have difficulty managing their self-care and accessing clinic-based services; many also lack social support to help them meet the demands of their illness. Enhanced support is especially important when undertaking and sustaining new challenging self-care tasks, such as initiating or intensifying insulin treatment regimens. Although some VAs have implemented telephone nurse care management programs supported by automated calling services, many are reluctant to adopt these models due to nursing shortages.
