A Team Approach to Improve the Quality of Diabetes Care for Patients With Schizophrenia
This proposal aims to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of adapting TEAMcare for
patients with schizophrenia. The aim of this innovative mental health center-based team
intervention is to improve diabetes, cardiovascular and psychiatric outcomes among patients
with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The study will be conducted in two phases over the
2-year grant period.
Phase 1. Development of the adapted TEAMcare intervention and training of team members.
Phase 2. During year 2, we will implement the intervention on the caseload of 40 outpatients
at Harborview Mental Health Services with schizophrenia and poorly controlled type 2
diabetes. The intervention involves the management of subjects' diabetes, hypertension, and
hyperlipidemia by a CMHC diabetes team for 6 months (advanced nurse specialist on-site at
supervised in weekly meetings by a psychiatrist and a UW Diabetes Center endocrinologist).
The primary aim of this pilot research grant is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing
this complex intervention, in order to guide the design of a larger scale efficacy study
(R01). Both process and outcome measures will be evaluated at baseline, and at 3- and
6-month follow-up visits for the 40 subjects enrolled in this feasibility trial.
