Feasibility of a Brief Intervention to Increase Rapid Primary Care Follow-Up Among African American Patients With Uncontrolled Diabetes.

The management of diabetes, like many other chronic conditions, depends on effective primary care engagement. Patients with diabetes without a usual source of care have a higher risk of uncontrolled disease, hospitalizations, and early death. Our objective was to study the effect of a brief intervention to help patients in medically underserved areas obtain rapid primary care follow-up appointments following hospitalization.
