ABSTRACT Background Group medical visits (GMV) effectively improve patient care and outcomes through interactive education, increased patient contact, and facilitated social support. This quality improvement research examined if patient activation and quality of life correlate with weight, blood pressure (BP), and hemoglobin A1c (A1C) through GMV interventions. Methods Participants were enrolled in GMV Lighten Up for weight management or GMV Diabetes. At pre- and post-intervention, patients completed the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) and the health-related quality of life measure, the SF-12; and were assessed for weight, blood pressure (BP), and hemoglobin A1c (A1C). Results Weight and PAM scores significantly improved regardless of group. For patients in GMV Diabetes, A1C significantly decreased. GMV Lighten Up participants had statistically significant declines in diastolic BP. Both groups improved patient activation, but statistically significantly so only in GMV Diabetes participants. SF-12 scores did not statistically significantly improve. There were no predictors of A1C and PAM score change for the Diabetes GMV. However, age, SBP and SF-12 scores predicted PAM score changes in GMV Lighten up participants. Conclusions Participants in this study showed overall improvement in biomarkers and patient activation. Thus, GMV continue to be a viable method for healthcare delivery.
