AMEDD Wide Chronic Disease Management Network with a Prototype Management System for Diabetes
Abstract
Contingent on obtaining further funding the plan remains consistent with that in the initial proposal. Evaluation of CHCS laboratory records for diabetic patients assigned to the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Eisenhower Army Medical Center will be collected in two groups over a one year period. The data to be collected for both groups will include Ale's, lipid panels, micro- albumin, ophthalmology evaluations and podiatry evaluations, diabetic medications and the number of visits for the patient during the study period. The first group will consist of CHCS data collected for a six month period prior to the deployment of the system. This group will serve as the control group and will be representative of the current level of guideline compliance within the Department of Family and Community Medicine. The second group will consist of information for a six month period after system deployment and will serve as the intervention arm of the study. The groups will be matched for the type of diabetes mellitus (oral medications vs. insulin) and the number of visits. Statistical analysis with SPSS to evaluate DoD/VA Diabetic guideline compliance over this one year period will then be conducted by comparing the two groups. External validation of compliance will occur utilizing data from PASBA.
