Preventive Health Services clinical trials at University of California Health
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Increasing the Feasibility, Impact, and Equity of the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV)
open to eligible people ages 50 years and up
The goal of this study is to improve the use of preventive health services by implementing a multilevel intervention to stimulate Annual Wellness Visit use in diverse practices across the United States. This is a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial. The intervention will be implemented in a total of 24 primary care practices over 24 months. Every 3 months, 6 practices will receive the intervention. Electronic health record (EHR) data extractions will be used to collect outcomes in a population cohort of patients. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with clinicians/staff and patients to assess intervention implementation. The investigators hypothesize that the implementation will increase AWV visit use and consequently, use of preventive health services.

AWV Practice Redesign Toolkit (Tailored Intervention)
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
The goal of this study is to improve the use of preventive health services by implementing the AWV Practice Redesign Toolkit to stimulate AWV visit use in diverse practices across the United States. This is a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial. The intervention will be implemented in a total of 16 small-to-mid-size primary care practices (at the practice level) with clinicians and staff. Eight practices will participate in the main clinical trial, and 8 in a replication study. The main clinical trial (with community-based practices) and replication study (with Federally Qualified Health Center practices) will be conducted simultaneously. Electronic health record (EHR) data extractions will be used to collect outcomes in a population cohort of patients. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with clinicians/staff and patients to assess intervention implementation. The investigators hypothesize that the toolkit implementation will increase AWV visit use and consequently, use of preventive health services.
