Program and population
Kevin’s CV identifies a Texas Medicaid adult type 2 diabetes demonstration pilot from September 2009 through April 2011. The work operated within the broader McKesson disease-management environment. His responsibilities connected patient-generated data, home-based screening, intensive behavior support, and clinical research operations.
Later career materials describe recruitment from a pool of more than 1,500 diagnosed adults. That number describes the potential recruitment population. It is not used here as a count of enrolled study participants or as the size of a completed randomized trial.
Kevin’s role
As principal investigator, Kevin designed technology, protocols, and patient-facing materials while managing a process of home diagnostic screening and behavioral support. His CV describes motivational interviewing and a social-network model for peer influence. His broader operating work included case-manager workflows, remote monitoring, patient support, provider coordination, and program reporting.
The responsibilities combined research design and implementation. Technology choices had to fit participants’ access, language, routines, and the operating practices of the care organization.
Systems and human review
The program architecture connected medical-device telemetry to an intervention hub. Kevin’s career account describes review of patient-generated data, validation of exceptions, interpretation of risk signals, escalation of meaningful findings, and patient or clinical interventions. Human review was a working part of the model.
Operational information—enrollment, adherence, data completeness, intervention activity, workflow status, service performance, and outcomes—also mattered. It allowed teams to see whether the service was functioning and where additional attention was required.
Evidence boundaries
The historical proposal and operating materials include objectives and proposed measures around A1c, self-management, satisfaction, emergency-department use, and hospitalization. Those objectives are not presented as achieved results without a corresponding outcome source. Confidential proposal text, pricing, and proprietary program material are not republished.
The linked government reports describe the Texas Medicaid/McKesson program environment. They support the institutional context, while Kevin’s CV and project record support his specific responsibilities. Keeping those two forms of evidence separate makes the account more precise.
Operating relevance
The work is relevant to payer-connected virtual care, chronic disease management, health equity, remote clinical operations, and practical use of patient-generated data. It demonstrates familiarity with the interaction of participant behavior, diagnostics, devices, clinical oversight, and service execution in a population that cannot be assumed to have frictionless digital access.
