Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Telemedicine case management
Telemedicine visits conducted by a registered nurse (RN) with remote monitoring of blood pressure (BP) and blood glucose through the use of a telemedicine home unit (HTU).
Telemedicine Unit (HTU)
This study involves the deployment of a home telemedicine unit (HTU). The HTU provides 3 critical functions for patients: videoconferencing, access to information resources and e-mail through a web-enabled workstation, and medical data acquisition through an electronic device interface. The HTUs also included a glucometer and a blood pressure cuff interfaced directly with the HTU.
Usual care
usual care by primary care provider
usual care
usual diabetes care, as provided by primary care providers
