Mentored Research to Improve Care for Complex Patients with Diabetes

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的首要目标是开发创新方法，以改善2型糖尿病复杂患者的护理，包括越来越多的拉丁美洲糖尿病患者。我是NIDDK R 01的主要研究者，该研究正在实施和评估一种工具，以帮助复杂的糖尿病患者识别和优先考虑他们的首要问题，为他们的初级保健提供者的定期访问做准备 （五氯苯酚）。这R 01将有助于形成为这个K24奖提出的新的指导研究的基础。K24的具体目标包括：目标1：检查患者就诊优先级与PCP护理计划之间的关系;目标2：调整低英语水平和讲西班牙语的拉丁美洲人的就诊前优先级;目标3：学习如何有效地实施替代医疗信息技术平台，如智能手机、交互式语音应答和其他用于就诊前优先级的新模式。我是研究交付科学奖学金计划的凯撒永久部门的主任，我是UCSF转化科学研究所K学者计划的核心教员，为初级教师提供职业发展奖。我有成功指导研究学员的记录，包括住院医师，临床研究员，MD和PhD博士后学员和初级教师。再加上拟议的K24职业发展培训活动，拟议的指导研究将提高我的职业目标，以建立在拉丁美洲文化健康和健康IT设计领域的研究技能，生成新的初步数据，以支持后续的R 01级应用程序，以推进糖尿病患者为导向的研究领域，并为非常有前途的学员提供丰富的指导研究机会，这些学员对以患者为导向的研究感兴趣和热情，以改善2型糖尿病患者的护理。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this application is to develop innovative approaches to improving the care of complex patients with type 2 diabetes, including the growing number of Latinos with diabetes. I am the principal investigator for an NIDDK R01 that is implementing and evaluating a tool to help complex patients with diabetes identify and prioritize their top concerns in preparation for a scheduled visit with their primary care provider (PCP). This R01 will help form the foundation for the new mentored research proposed for this K24 award. Specific aims for the K24 include to: Aim 1: Examine the relationship between patient visit priorities and PCP care plans; Aim 2: Adapt pre-visit prioritization for Low-English-Proficiency and Spanish-speaking Latinos; Aim 3: Learn how to effectively implement alternative health IT platforms such as smart phones, interactive voice response, and other novel modalities for pre-visit prioritization. I am the Director of the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research Delivery Science Fellowship Program and I am a core faculty member for the UCSF Translational Sciences Institute K Scholars Program for junior faculty with career development awards. I have a track record of successfully mentoring research trainees, including medical residents, clinical fellows, MD and PhD post-doctoral trainees, and junior faculty. Coupled with the proposed K24 Career Development training activities, the proposed mentored research will enhance my career goals to build research skills in the areas of Latino cultural health and health IT design, generate novel preliminary data to support subsequent R01- level applications to advance the field of diabetes patient-oriented research, and provide abundant mentored research opportunities for highly promising mentees with an interest and passion for patient-oriented research to improve the care of patients with type 2 diabetes.
