Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Nurse Case Management

December 5, 2017 updated by: Johns Hopkins University

Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Nurse Case Management on High-Risk Pregnancy Outcomes

The management of high-risk pregnancies require substantial use of medical resources. Our goal is to determine the effectiveness of a nurse case management program in which case managers are assigned to patients with high-risk conditions.

Our hypothesis is that women with diabetes in pregnancy or hypertension who are assigned a nurse case manager will have lower glucose levels and lower blood pressure levels
