NCT ID NCT07138183
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse practitioner-led team can improve care for adults with two or more chronic conditions like heart failure, diabetes, or kidney disease. Participants are randomly assigned to either the nurse-led team or usual care. The team reviews medications to ensure they follow guidelines and tracks hospital readmissions and emergency visits for 90 days after discharge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse practitioner-led multidisciplinary team intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve how hospitals manage patients with multiple chronic conditions, leading to better use of recommended medications and fewer return visits to the hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 178 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. The intervention is behavioral, so its impact may be limited by how well it is implemented.
