Brief Summary:
This study aims to address the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes by assessing the impact of the FOR-Care model on preventive medicine The model focuses on improving the documentation of blood pressure height and weight in outpatient settings Through a cluster randomized trial at National Taiwan University Hospital clinics will either implement the FOR-Care model or continue with usual care The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in documenting these measurements and its impact on diagnosing hypertension and diabetes The outcomes will provide valuable insights into enhancing preventive medicine and improving care for chronic diseases
Detailed Description:
Background The prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes among adults is considerable For those already diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes monitoring blood pressure and controlling body weight are recognized as essential methods for risk assessment However in outpatient settings there is still room for improvement in the on-site documentation of blood pressure height and weight
Objective This cluster randomized trial CRT will assess the effects of preventive medicine following the implementation of the FOR-Care model a technique designed for facilitating on-site recordings of office blood pressure height and weight
Methods The investigators will conduct a pragmatic CRT at the outpatient clinics of the Department of Family Medicine National Taiwan University Hospital A total of 42 clinics with over 15 patients will be randomized into two groups The intervention group will adopt a FOR-Care model required to measure and record blood pressure height and weight before consultations while the control group receives usual care The protected medical information will be accessed through the National Taiwan University Hospital Integrative Medical Database NTUH-iMD The quality improvement outcome is documentation of on-site blood pressure height and weight recordings of both groups at 12 and 24 weeks cluster-level parameter The primary preventive medicine outcome is newly diagnosed hypertension and diabetes mellitus individual-level parameter The secondary preventive medicine outcomes are clinical indicators of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in those with these diagnoses individual-level parameters
Expected Outcomes The results of this pragmatic CRT will shed new insight into preventive medicine and quality of care in the management of common chronic diseases
