The Medication Metronome Project
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Medication Metronome and Usual Care for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project tests a model of chronic disease medication management in which the decision to initiate or adjust medical therapy is directly linked to a sequence of subsequent clinical actions (e.g. monitoring for adverse drug events, assessing response to therapy, changing medication dose) performed independently of the office visit. The investigators hypothesize that establishing a visit-independent, health information technology (IT) supported cycle of laboratory monitoring and iterative medication dose adjustment will result in more effective chronic disease care.

Timeline
Interventions
Providers allocated to intervention will see an additional feature when logging on to their electronic health record medication prescription interface that enables them to schedule future laboratory testing for the pre-defined subset of study-specific medications. New prescription or dose adjustment by the PCP of one of these pre-specified medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia will initiate the follow-up result monitoring, patient outreach, and PCP reminders that constitute the Medication Metronome system.
