Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a program for the secondary prevention of drug-realted problems (DRP) focused on the patient empowerment through Digital Health in patients who visit the Emergency Department (ED) of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCiSP) for a health problem related to medication in terms of readmissions, revisits and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being infomed about the estudy and potential risks, all patients who meet the eligibility requirements and giving written informed consent, will be randomized.

The project is structured in two consecutive phases.

1. st Phase: 3-month randomized pilot study. Patients will be randomized with a 1:1 distribution to be included in the Drug Code Active Patient or DCAP (intervention group) or to receive usual care (control group). The pilot study will confirm whether the proposed methodology is feasible to implement it on a large scale, as well as providing the information necessary to calculate the sample of patients according to the main objective of the study.
2. nd Phase: Randomized clinical trial lasting 18 months (6 of which will be recruitment and 12 months follow-up) following the methodology described for the pilot in a larger sample of patients until the calculated sample size is achieved.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Drug Code Active Patient o DCAP

Inclusion in the active group involves the use of MyPlan digital health tool that aims to improve clinical-patient communication, enahnce patient empowerment, improve early detection of side effects and allows professionals to individualize interventions.

Patients will receive follow-up by videoconference 48 hours after discharge and in the phase II, at 6 and 12 months after discharge.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

MyPlan digital health platform

Intervention Type DEVICE

Inclusion in the active group involves the use of MyPlan digital health tool that aims to improve clinical-patient communication, enahnce patient empowerment, improve early detection of side effects and allows professionals to individualize interventions.

Standard care

Inclusion in the control group do not involves the use of MyPlan digital health tool. Patients will receive the standard of care.

Patients will receive follow-up by videoconference 48 hours after discharge and in the phase II, at 6 and 12 months after discharge.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
