First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a Learning Health System (LHS) can improve care for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease in Thai primary care clinics. The LHS uses electronic health records to help healthcare teams identify patients who need more active management. Researchers will compare 16 clinics using the LHS to those providing usual care over 12 months for each condition.
