How a New Hospital System Helps Patients With Chronic Diseases
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a new hospital computer system (called a Clinical Information System) helps patients with long-term conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or lung disease. Researchers will compare how patients did before and after the hospital started using this new system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
This study looks at how heart problems progress while you’re in the hospital, using your medical information (clinical data). It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care for people with heart attacks and heart failure.
This study tests a care-coordination plan to see if it helps people leave the hospital and prevents them from needing to come back soon. It focuses on certain heart-related hospital diagnoses and, for some parts, also includes people with recent COVID-19.
This trial tests a new way of combining in-person doctor visits with remote monitoring and support. It's for people with type 2 diabetes or heart failure who also have other chronic conditions and use healthcare services often.
This study tests a program that helps patients with multiple health or social challenges avoid going back to the hospital. It brings extra support from healthcare providers and community resources to help you stay healthy at home.
This study tests a system where you report your symptoms online or by phone from home. A nurse will call you to help manage any side effects of your treatment.
