Re-Engineered Discharge for Diabetes Care Transitions

This study is testing a new way to help people with type 2 diabetes who are in the hospital and have unmet social needs. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are things like housing, transportation, and access to healthy food that can affect your health. The study will screen patients for these needs and then offer support after they leave the hospital. You could be eligible if you are an adult (18 or older) with type 2 diabetes, are hospitalized at a UMass-affiliated hospital, and report at least one unmet social need. You cannot be pregnant, discharged to a nursing facility, or have certain medical conditions or cognitive impairment. The study aims to see if this support, called REDDCAT2 Post-Discharge Navigation, can reduce how often people need hospital services after discharge, compared to standard care. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 412 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive REDDCAT2 Post-Discharge Navigation or standard care.
What's involved
You will complete a screening survey and then surveys at the beginning of the study, and again at 30 and 90 days after leaving the hospital.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 90 days after leaving the hospital.
