About this study

Official title: Inclusion Of a Community Health Worker in a Collaborative Diabetes Care Program Reduces Health Care Utilization (JADE)

  1. To recruit 600 type 2 diabetic patients managed in a community setting.
  2. To enrol into the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Program.
  3. All patients will undergo annual comprehensive assessment (CA) at a diabetes centre with personalized JADE report (JADE) at basline. Half of the randomized patients will be managed with additional support by a trained community health worker (CHW) (JADE+CHW).
  4. All patients will undergo annual comprehensive assessments for comparison of attainment of treatment targets for 3 years
Read the detailed description

Several lines of evidence support protocol-driven care using a multidisciplinary approach with special focus on periodic assessments, reinforcement of compliance and attainment of treatment targets improves risk factor control and reduces morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes mellitus The Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Program is an innovative project using state of the art information technology with internet on-line system to enable doctors, nurses and other medical personnel to manage people with diabetes. It provides a virtual platform to facilitate implementation of evidence-based clinical protocols and to collect, manage and analyse data to track performance for quality assurance and improvement purposes. The JADE Program incorporates validated risk equations developed by the CUHK Diabetes Care \& Research Group to stratify patients into various risk clusters for recommendation into different care protocols. This information can be relayed to people with diabetes in an interactive manner, in the form of charts and time trends, to motivate changes in behaviour and to attain treatment targets.

In this implementation project, we aim to recruit 600 type 2 diabetic patients managed in a community setting. With written informed consent, these patients will be invited to enrol into the JADE Program. All patients will undergo annual comprehensive assessment (CA) at a diabetes centre with personalized JADE report (JADE) for 3 years. Half of the patients will be managed according to the JADE protocol implemented with additional support by a trained CHW (JADE+CHW). Guided by the personalized report with embedded decision support, the CHW will reinforce treatment adherence and self care after each clinic visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Protocol-driven care under JADE ProgramOther

    The JADE Program uses the state of the art of information technology to facilitate evidence-based clinical protocol by a multidisciplinary team. There is an internet on-line and computer record system to facilitate the day-to-day management of people with diabetes.

  • Additional support by CHWOther

    Patients will receive additional support by a trained community health worker (CHW). Guided by the personalized report with embedded decision support, the CHW will reinforce treatment adherence and self care after each clinic visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Protocol-driven care under JADE Program and Additional support by CHW in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in glycated hemoglobin level (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2015.
