Sustainable Methods, Algorithms, and Research Tools for Delivering Optimal Care Study

Trial ID: NCT02037438
Purpose
Sustainable Methods, Algorithms, and Research Tools for Delivering Optimal Care Study (SMART
DOCS) was designed to develop and evaluate a new approach (patient-centered outcomes and
coordinated-care management [PCCM]) for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Specialized and pertinent information and resources regarding sleep disorder management were
developed and made available through an online portal, allowing patients to make informed
health care decisions, and providers to assist patients in achieving what they feel are the
most important goals regarding their care. Half of participants were randomized into the
conventional diagnosis and treatment (CONV) arm and the other half into the patient-centered
outcomes and coordinated-care management (PCCM) arm. Validated objective and subjective
assessment measures were administered at intervals throughout a 13 month participation period
in both the CONV and PCCM arms to determine whether the new PCCM approach for sleep medicine
results in increased patient satisfaction, quality of care, and improved health outcomes.
Qualifying participants were 18 years of age or older and presenting with a new sleep
disorder. Patients received no monetary compensation.
