[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Comparing the Effectiveness of Diabetes Care Interventions in Safety Net Clinics [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES [Amount] $0 [Summary] Despite the large disease burden of diabetes, very little is known about the comparative effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving the quality of diabetes care in community clinics and health centers (CCHCs) that serve vulnerable patient populations. The effectiveness of interventions like pharmacist-led medication management and nurse case management has been demonstrated, but the broad uptake of these approaches for improving diabetes care quality is not financially feasible for most CCHCs. The proposed project aims to compare the effectiveness of medical assistant panel managers and community health outreach workers- two relatively low cost interventions aimed at improving the quality of diabetes care in CCHCs, and to examine the organizational facilitators of intervention effectiveness.
