Background/aimsThis study’s objective was to evaluate a patient-centered educational electronic tablet application, “My Interventional Drug-Eluting Stent Educational App” (MyIDEA) to see if there was an increase in patient knowledge about dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and medication possession ratio (MPR) compared to treatment as usual.MethodsIn a pilot project, 24 elderly (≥50 years old) research participants were recruited after a drug-eluting stent. Eleven were randomized to the control arm and 13 to the interventional arm. All the participants completed psychological and knowledge questionnaires. Adherence was assessed through MPR, which was calculated at 3 months for all participants who were scheduled for second and third follow-up visits.ResultsRelative to control, the interventional group had a 10% average increase in MPR. As compared to the interventional group, more patients in the control group had poor adherence (<80% MPR). The psychological data revealed a single imbalance in anxiety between the control and interventional groups. On average, interventional participants spent 21 min using MyIDEA.DiscussionConsumer health informatics has enabled us to engage patients with their health data using novel methods. Consumer health technology needs to focus more on patient knowledge and engagement to improve long-term health. MyIDEA takes a unique approach in targeting DAPT from the onset.ConclusionMyIDEA leverages patient-centered information with clinical care and the electronic health record highlighting the patients’ role as a team member in their own health care. The patients think critically about adverse events and how to solve issues before leaving the hospital.

Intelligent information systems can create an excellent opportunity to nephrologists for appropriate prescriptions, hemodialysis adequacy monitoring, drug prescription, anemia management, blood pressure control and patient education. Indeed, these technologies make sure patient safety and reduce medical errors through identifying high-risk patients and timely interventions to improve health care processes

“…9 One of the major factors contributing to the limited numbers on home dialysis is lack of awareness of this treatment option (either at clinician or patient level). 10,11 Other reasons for the decline include economic and infrastructure barriers and the provider's impression that there are patient characteristics that contraindicate home dialysis. 12 Home dialysis offers a variety of quality of life benefits, such as improved convenience, mental health wellbeing, rehabilitation, employment, reduced mortality and cost effectiveness.…”

Is replacement modality choice knowledge important in the non-renal multidisciplinary team? Experience from a single UK centre

Dialysis remains the mainstay treatment for patients with end stage renal disease. In the UK, there has been a signifi cant decline in home dialysis despite its benefi ts and cost effectiveness. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often known to other specialties who they may continue to consult when approaching dialysis. We wished to assess the knowledge of the non-renal multidisciplinary team (MDT) regarding home dialysis and establish whether further education was warranted. This was assessed using an online survey sent to specialties likely to deal with CKD patients. In total, 364 questionnaires were sent out with a 26.4% response rate. According to the survey responses, 81.5% of non-renal MDTs lack confi dence in discussing home dialysis options with patients and 74.55% feel that they need further education about home dialysis. Targeted education may increase home dialysis uptake by multimorbid CKD patients who have a consistent message delivered by all relevant healthcare teams about the benefi ts of home dialysis.
