Interdisciplinary primary care team expertise and diabetes care management.
Researchers examined whether care team role expertise is associated with patients' experiences of chronic care for type 2 diabetes and whether the relationship is stronger for small community health center (CHC) sites. Results of surveys conducted with adults with diabetes that assessed nonphysician team roles involved in managing their chronic care were integrated with clinical and administrative data from 14 CHCs. They found that patients with access to care team expertise in self-management support, including diabetes educators, nutritionists, community health workers, and other general staff report better experiences of chronic care. They concluded that these team roles may reduce barriers to patient self-management and improve patients' overall experiences of chronic care, particularly in small CHC sites.

Patient-reported outcomes in a large community-based pain medicine practice: evaluation for use in phenotype modeling.
The researchers aimed to build a phenotype-to-outcome model targeting chronic pain to be used to drive clinical decision support for pain medicine in the community setting. Exploratory factor analysis of the intake Pain Health Assessment revealed 15 orthogonal factors representing pain levels; physical, social, and emotional functions; the effects of pain on these functions; vitality and health; and measures of outcomes and satisfaction.

Collaborative drug therapy management: case studies of three community-based models of care.
The objectives of this study were to understand how collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) practices were implemented in 3 community settings and to identify common and unique facilitators and barriers to implementing CDTM. The authors believe that the models described in this study could be used to strengthen clinical–community linkages through team-based care, particularly for chronic disease prevention and management.

Impact of passive and active promotional strategies on patient acceptance of medication therapy management services.
The researchers assessed the impact of passive and active promotional strategies on patient acceptance of medication therapy management (MTM) services, and identified reasons for patient acceptance or refusal. No significant differences were identified among the four promotional methods or between active and passive methods in the analyses. Patients' most frequent reasons for accepting MTM services were potential cost savings and review of how the medications were working.

Utility of a brief screening tool for medication-related problems.
The objective of this study was to estimate the psychometric properties of a brief self-administered scale as a screening tool for medication-related problems (MRPs). Its findings suggest scores on the nine-item scale are a statistically significant, although fairly modest, predictor of MRPs when controlling for other significant predictors of problems.

Predictors of medication-related problems among Medicaid patients participating in a pharmacist-provided telephonic medication therapy management program.
The objective of this study was to identify predictors of medication-related problems (MRPs) among Medicaid patients participating in a telephonic medication therapy management (MTM) program. The analysis of study results supports the relative importance of number of medications as a predictor of MRPs in the Medicaid population and identifies other predictors.

Acceptance of a community-based navigator program for cancer control among urban African Americans.
The researchers evaluated acceptance of a community-based navigator program for cancer control and identified factors having significant independent associations with navigation acceptance in an urban sample of African Americans. They found that age and perceived risk of developing cancer had a significant independent association with navigation acceptance. Participants who believed that they were at high risk for developing cancer had a lower likelihood of completing navigation.
