Abstract EN
Among patients with various levels of health literacy, the effects of collaborative, patient-provider, medication-planning tools on outcomes relevant to self-management are uncertain.
Objective.
Among adult patients with type II diabetes mellitus, we tested the effectiveness of a medication-planning tool (Medtable™) implemented via an electronic medical record to improve patients’ medication knowledge, adherence, and glycemic control compared to usual care.
Design.
A multicenter, randomized controlled trial in outpatient primary care clinics.
674 patients received either the Medtable tool or usual care and were followed up for up to 12 months.
Results.
Patients who received Medtable had greater knowledge about indications for medications in their regimens and were more satisfied with the information about their medications.
Patients’ knowledge of drug indication improved with Medtable regardless of their literacy status.
However, Medtable did not improve patients’ demonstrated medication use, regimen adherence, or glycemic control (HbA1c).
Conclusion.
The Medtable tool supported provider/patient collaboration related to medication use, as reflected in patient satisfaction with communication, but had limited impact on patient medication knowledge, adherence, and HbA1c outcomes.
This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01296633.
