Trial Outcomes & Findings for SPREAD-NET: PRactices Enabling Adapting and Disseminating in the Safety NET (NCT NCT02325531)

NCT ID: NCT02325531

Last Updated: 2022-12-13

Results Overview

The data reported in the outcome measure data table is the rate ratio of the change in the percent of the clinic's 'indicated' patients with guideline-appropriate prescription for statins. Each monthly denominator included the patients who had an in-clinic encounter in the last year and were indicated for the medication per national guidelines that month. Therefore, the number of "participants" and who those "participants" were varied at each time of measurement. From month to month the set of "participants" could be completely different. The percent of patients indicated for a statin with an active prescription by month can be found in Figure 2 of the publication linked in this record: Gold, 2019. This is the only data available.

Participant Flow

In this pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial, clinics NOT patients were randomized. Clinics were randomly assigned to one of the arms and support was provided to the clinic, not the patient. No patients were recruited or consented.

Data was collected at the clinic level, there was no data collected at the participant level and therefore there are no participant numbers available for any results modules.

Unit of analysis: Clinics

High Support
In this pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial, clinics NOT patients were randomized. Clinics were randomly assigned to one of the arms and support was provided to the clinic, not the patient. Support provided to the low and medium support arms, PLUS Practice facilitation High support: Same as provided to the low and medium support arms, PLUS \- PRACTICE FACILITATION: Site visits with support as needed, Staff presentations, Coaching on tools (how to present to clinic staff and how to use in the clinic workflow), Tailored problem-solving support to address identified barriers, Clinical questions fielded by RN practice facilitator and site clinician champion.
Comparison
In this pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial, clinics NOT patients were randomized. Clinics were randomly assigned to one of the arms and support was provided to the clinic, not the patient. No support was provided by the researchers. The EHR-based toolkit was available to all clinics in the network if they actively searched it out in the EHR. Comparison: No support was provided by the researchers. The EHR-based toolkit was available to all clinics in the network if they actively searched it out in the EHR.

The data reported in the outcome measure data table is the rate ratio of the change in the percent of the clinic's 'indicated' patients with guideline-appropriate prescription for ACE/ARBs. Each monthly denominator included the patients who had an in-clinic encounter in the last year and were indicated for the medication per national guidelines that month. Therefore, the number of "participants" and who those "participants" were varied at each time of measurement. From month to month the set of "participants" could be completely different.
