Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Home VisitExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive home visit During the course of the first home visit, patients will receive routine care for diabetes and hypertension management (outcome variables are listed below) and data will be recorded in the EHR for primary outcomes. The resident physician will also assist the patient in completing enrollment in MyChart (if interested), utilizing either the resident's computer or smartphone and an internet hotspot. MyChart is a patient health platform that allows patients to contact their healthcare doctors, log health reminders, see test results, and a list of medications. The resident physician will also review a social determinants of health (SDH) screener (included in the EHR). The research faculty (licensed medical clinician) will collect blood pressure readings during this visit.
Group II: Standard of careActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will receive a standard of care
