Virtual vs Telephonic Outreach for Multiple Chronic Conditions
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
We will conduct a comparative effectiveness randomized clinical trial with two "active comparator" arms. We will evaluate the two current, usual care strategies (higher intensity "telephonic navigation" vs. lower intensity "virtual outreach") for addressing social needs among patients with multiple chronic conditions.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems to focus on outreach methods rather than medication changes.
Is telephonic or virtual outreach safe for managing chronic conditions?
Automated telephone support programs have been used safely to help manage chronic conditions like diabetes, capturing adverse events and improving care quality. Virtual tools like patient portals for medication management have also been used safely, though they may reveal medication discrepancies that need addressing.12345
How does the treatment of Virtual vs Telephonic Outreach for Multiple Chronic Conditions differ from other treatments?
This treatment is unique because it uses virtual and telephonic methods to reach patients with multiple chronic conditions, offering a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional in-person care. It aims to improve access to care and patient outcomes by leveraging technology, which can be particularly beneficial for those in rural areas or with limited mobility.678910
