Improving Diabetes Care Through Effective Personalized Patient Portal Interactions

Patient-facing eHealth technologies are those that connect patients and the healthcare system, and include online patient portals. Although many organizations are adopting patient portals, there is limited understanding of how the different portal features help improve health outcomes. This study is designed to develop and test an intervention to improve adoption and use of patient portal features for diabetes management.

Home-Based Kidney Care in Native American’s of New Mexico (HBKC)

People reach end stage renal disease (ESRD) due to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is associated with increased risk for heart disease and death. The burden of chronic kidney disease is increased among minority populations compared to Caucasians. New Mexico American Indians are experiencing an epidemic of chronic kidney disease due primarily to the high rates of obesity and diabetes. The present study entitled Home-Based Kidney Care is designed to delay / reduce rates of ESRD by early interventions in CKD. Investigators propose to assess the safety and efficacy of conducting a full-scale study to determine if home based care delivered
by a collaborative team composed of community health workers, the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board and University of New Mexico faculty will decrease the risk for the development and the progression of CKD.

INcreasing Veteran EngagemeNT to Prevent Diabetes (INVENT)

This study will evaluate a VA MyHealtheVet Secure Messaging intervention that uses different intervention messaging strategies designed to increase engagement in behaviors to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2DM). After completing a baseline survey, participants will be randomly assigned to receive different novel presentations of information about ways to prevent T2DM through both secure messaging and US mail. The investigators will test the 5 presentations that each: (1) represent an innovative approach from behavioral economics or health psychology with great promise to increase engagement in behaviors to prevent T2DM among patients with prediabetes; and (2) have not been tested in this setting.
