Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Evidence based, DSS enabled, health care delivery model  The study focus on preliminary work before a definitive randomised controlled trial. In this phase, we are developing an intervention for the evidence based management of hypertension and diabetes at primary care setting in India. The components of the interventions that we are developing are: 1. A structured training of the health care staff for identifying people at risk of developing diabetes or hypertension 2. Treating patients as per a standard clinical guidelines 3. Giving health education to patients on lifestyle changes for better self-care 4. Optimizing the care pathways at the health facilities to enable better delivery of the intervention and 5. Development and implementation of a smartphone based decision support system with inbuilt diagnostic and treatment algorithm. In the second phase of the study the participants recruited from 6 health facilities over a period of 18 months will receive the above listed study intervention. The follow-up visits for each of the participant will be recorded for twelve months. The participants will also receive SMS/voice call reminders for life-style modification, compliance to drug therapy and follow-up visits.

Brief Summary  

Hypertension and diabetes are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Although these two conditions can be detected much early in life and are amenable to interventions at primary health care level, the health system in India fails to provide adequate interventions at primary health care level which translates to huge burden of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes in the community.

This study aims to design a feasible and sustainable evidence-based, decision support-enabled, health care delivery model for the management of hypertension and diabetes in the primary health care facilities of Himachal Pradesh. The study will be conducted at the 5 Community Health Centers (CHCs) and District Hospital of Solan District, Himachal Pradesh using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The design and development of the model will be carried out in the initial six months followed by piloting the services at the CHCs and District Hospital. The impact of the model on quality of care will be assessed in a pre-post design measuring changes in both clinical and process indicators.
