Principal investigator Study title Summary PCORI contract number ClinicalTrials.gov number
AWA Improving Specialty-Care Delivery in Chronic Skin Diseases This study evaluated an innovative CCHb model where patients and primary care providers could access dermatologists on the web directly and asynchronously via a pragmatic RCTc to test whether a CCH model results in equivalent improvements in disease severity, quality of life, and mental health, and whether the model provides better access to specialty care, compared with usual in-person care for psoriasis management. IHS-071502-IC NCT02358135
TRC Using Telehealth to Deliver Developmental, Behavioral, and Mental Health Services in Primary Care Settings for Children in Underserved Areas Using community-engaged research principles, FQHCd (n=6 sites) and CHMCse (n=2 sites) designed a telehealth-based intervention to improve the referral system for children being referred to specialty mental health care from primary care. We conducted an RCT involving 342 children, aged 5-12 years, with mental health concerns to receive either a routine referral or the new telehealth-enabled referral system. IH-12-11-4168-IC NCT02396576
ERD Connect.Parkinson Connect.Parkinson assessed the feasibility, value, and benefits of telemedicine visits with a specialist for individuals with Parkinson disease (n=200) through randomization to usual care or their routine care enhanced by video visits with a Parkinson specialist in approximately 20 US states. AD-12-11-4701 NCT02038959
KJG C3FITf Stroke Care Trial C3FIT uses team-based, enhanced collaboration to follow patients from presentation at the Emergency Department through 12 months post discharge to compare joint commission-certified stroke care with an Integrated Stroke Practice Unit care model that uses nurse and lay health educator care teams to visit patients and caregivers at home or in rehabilitation or skilled nursing facilities to assess function and quality of life using telehealth technology for patients at 18 US clinical sites. PCS-2017C3-9081 NCT04000971
HQN, Mularski RA Noninferiority Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Home-Based Palliative Care (HomePal) Trial HomePal is a CERg comparing two models of home-based palliative care, standard approach with nurses and physicians making home visits versus nurses in patients’ home facilitating remote physician consults. PLC-1609-36108 NCT03694431
DRS SUMMITh Trial SUMMIT examines whether psychotherapy delivered via telemedicine is as effective as in-person sessions for perinatal populations in Toronto, Canada; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; and Chicago, Illinois. PCS-2018C1-10621 NCT04153864
ES Specialty Medical Homes to Improve Outcomes for Patients With IBDi and Behavioral Health Conditions Trial This trial compares traditional face-to-face delivered to telemedicine delivered team-based care within a subspecialty medical home integrating behavioral and medical care for patients with IBD in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, New York City, New York, and Cleveland, Ohio.
