April 7, 2017 updated by: María José del Olmo Rubio

Impact of a Proactive and Integrated Health Intervention Between Different Assistance Levels Over Some Indicators in the Care of Chronic Complex Patient (CCP)

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of proactive and integrated healthcare program for chronic complex patients (CCP). This program are based in coordination the primary level of attention with and speciality level. The objective is reducing hospital readmissions and know the benefit in total cost of care in 4 month before and 4 after intervention.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Quasi-experimental study with single-arm (pre-post study design without control group). The investigators checking pre and post intervention the effectiveness of a healthcare program for CCP. The interventions consist:

  1. - Help the nurse in the hospital to carry out the care plans and the continuity care report.
  2. - Refer patients to the social workers.
  3. - Collaborate with the social worker to refer to centers of media, long stay and reference hospital.
  4. - Ensure the follow-up appointments for the CCP.
  5. - Make proactive calls to the CCP and/or their caregiver after discharge
  6. - Plan the hospital discharge 48 hours in advance, so that the family and the patient can be organized.

The investigator analysed if with this program, the CCP reducing hospital readmission and reducing the Hospital expenditure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Proactive healthcare intervention
Participants who were included before (single-arm pre-post study), now a proactive and integrated intervention program for the health is performed of the complex chronic patient, based in an improvement of the care process.
Other: Proactive healthcare intervention
There is an intervention in the coordination of health resources, and monitoring readmissions and know the benefit in total cost of care in 4 month.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pre-post change in days of Hospital stay from baseline to 16 weeks.
Time Frame: Baseline and 16 weeks.
The same group of patients are analyzed the days of hospital stay at the end of 16 weeks of follow-up pre intervention (baseline) and 16 week after the intervention.
Baseline and 16 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of hospital readmissions visits for CCP change from baseline to 16 weeks.
Time Frame: Baseline and 16 weeks.
The same group of patients are analyzed the number of hospital readmissions visit for CCP at the end of 16 weeks pre intervention (considered baseline) of follow-up and 16 weeks after the intervention.
Baseline and 16 weeks.
Number of urgency visits for CCP change from baseline to 16 weeks.
Time Frame: Baseline and 16 weeks.
The same group of patients are analyzed the number of urgency visits and primary care visit for CCP at the end of 16 weeks pre intervention (considered baseline) of follow-up and 16 weeks after the intervention.
