Evidence-Based Results
To further validate the impact of Coleman Health Advocacy Services, particularly our Physician Extender Program, the following section is designed to showcase measurable outcomes from real-world application and relevant studies.
Bahrain Family Medicine Clinic Trial (2016)
In 2016, Dr. Craig Coleman led a clinical trial at the Bahrain Family Medicine Clinic, where the Physician Extender Program was piloted with two physicians and a panel of 70 patients. This initiative provided biweekly touchpoints and remote check-ins over a six-month period. The outcomes were significant:
• • 25% reduction in hypertension levels
• • 20% decrease in average A1C among diabetic patients
These results demonstrate the value of structured patient monitoring and communication in reducing chronic disease burdens and enhancing continuity of care.
Supporting Research Studies
Several studies further affirm the effectiveness of increased patient touchpoints in improving outcomes:
• • A qualitative case study titled “The Never-Ending Patient Journey of Chronically Ill Patients” (PLOS ONE, 2023) showed that frequent and meaningful engagement with healthcare professionals improves patient-centered care, satisfaction, and long-term outcomes.
• • A rapid review published in BMC Health Services Research (2023) highlighted how enhanced communication and regular interactions with older adults improve treatment adherence and early detection of health issues.
• • The Whole Person Care Pilot in California demonstrated that coordinated high-touch interventions among at-risk Medicaid patients significantly reduced ER visits and hospitalizations.
