Patient Outcomes
– McElmurry et al. (2009). To assess the outcomes of certain patient-
directed interventions, data from patient encounter forms were anal-
ysed using frequencies, correlations, paired t tests, and logistic regres-
sion. Their analysis of the available data (for the 392 patients for whom
data were available who had two health-promoter encounters at least
30 days or more apart; range = 30 days to > 1 year) revealed that lim-
ited English-proficient Latino diabetes patients who received health-
promoter services demonstrated improvement in blood glucose con-
trol as measured by a drop in percentage of HbA1c. For these 392 pa-
tients, their mean drop in HbA1c from 9.65 to 8.61 was statistically sig-
nificant (paired t-test, t = –8.5344, p < 0.001). It follows that the health-
promoter intervention was associated with enhanced access to care,
