Trial Outcomes & Findings for Promoting the Universal Medication Schedule Via Mobile and EHR Technologies (NCT NCT02248857)
NCT ID: NCT02248857
Last Updated: 2019-03-25
Results Overview
Predictive probabilities of prescription understanding will be calculated based on patients' ability to correctly dose their prescription medications using unadjusted Generalized Estimating Equation models, specifying the binomial family and logit link, with medication as the unit of analysis. Correct dosing per medication will be scored as yes or no, reflecting having demonstrated all of the following: proper dose (# of pills), spacing (hours between doses), frequency (# of times per day), and total pills per day. Results are presented as predicted probabilities with 95% Confidence Intervals.

UMS Strategy
Patients of providers randomized to the UMS arm will receive study-related educational tools at their primary care visit to support the understanding, regimen consolidation, and use of prescriptions.
1. Prescription instructions will be adapted to UMS to establish four standard time intervals for prescribing and dispensing of medicine. UMS instructions also use simplified text and numeric characters instead of words to detail dose.
2. Single-page, plain language medication information sheets with content from a patient's perspective and following health literacy best practices.
3. A list of their current medications each corresponding to a set of instructions and a checkbox for morning, noon, evening, and bedtime medicine to help patients visually depict when to take their medicines.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 6 months after baselinePopulation: All participants who completed the 6 month assessment and had complete data for the outcome for at least 1 medication.
Predictive probabilities of prescription understanding will be calculated based on patients' ability to correctly dose their prescription medications using unadjusted Generalized Estimating Equation models, specifying the binomial family and logit link, with medication as the unit of analysis. Correct dosing per medication will be scored as yes or no, reflecting having demonstrated all of the following: proper dose (# of pills), spacing (hours between doses), frequency (# of times per day), and total pills per day. Results are presented as predicted probabilities with 95% Confidence Intervals.

Predictive probabilities of medication knowledge will be calculated based on patients' ability to identify each medication's purpose and side effects, risks, warnings, and benefits using unadjusted Generalized Estimating Equation models, specifying the binomial family and logit link, with medication as the unit of analysis. Patients will be asked through a structured questionnaire about each of the above via structured, open-ended items. Each medication will be scored as correct/incorrect if the participant knew the purpose and could name at least 1 side effect, risk, or warning of the medication. Results are presented as predicted probabilities with 95% Confidence Intervals.

Predictive probabilities of medication adherence will be calculated based on a 4-item validated Patient Medication Adherence Questionnaire (PMAQ) using unadjusted Generalized Estimating Equation models, specifying the binomial family and logit link, with medication as the unit of analysis. The PMAQ assesses adherence behaviors by asking patients to self-report missed/wrong doses in past 4 days, scoring each medication as adherent for that medication if no missed doses were reported.

Predictive probabilities of primary medication adherence will be calculated based on the proportion of days covered (PDC) with medication obtained from pharmacy records using unadjusted Generalized Estimating Equation models, specifying the binomial family and logit link, with medication as the unit of analysis. PDC is calculated by summing the number of days' supply obtained by a patient during a given time period and dividing by the number of days for which the patient was prescribed the medication. Each medication is scored as adherent if the patient was covered for that medication more than 80% of the time. Results are presented as predicted probabilities with 95% Confidence Intervals.
