Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Care paths and patient pathways are collaborative interdisciplinary tools developed to provide quality care. One goal in progressive renal insufficiency (PRI) care is to provide patients and family members with relevant and timely information to help them cope with medical therapy and lifestyle changes required to slow the progression of renal insufficiency. At Halton Healthcare Services, clinical and patient pathways have been widely used with success. Recognizing the potential benefits of a patient pathway for the PRI population, our interdisciplinary team developed a pathway that outlines the journey to renal replacement therapy. The pathway provides the patient with some insight into the future, as their disease process continues to have impact on their life. Reviewed by a patient within our PRI program during the development process, we have tailored this pathway to meet the needs of this unique population. We predict this patient pathway will have positive impact on the patient's understanding of the role of the PRI clinic and the partnership between the team members, the patient, and the family. |
