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

NCT02037438 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

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.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02037438

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02037438 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,836 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Stanford University, which has 1,643 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 6 conditions, with Insomnia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which CONV care for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02037438 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
