Design of a Standardized Patient: Mentoring Program for Kidney Transplant Patients
An Innovative Patient-mentoring Program for Kidney Transplant Patients to Reduce Anxiety and Readmission Rates: a Randomized Controlled Trial Leveraging Patients
研究概览
详细说明
In this research, the investigators will seek to examine the efficacy of using former patients as mentors to newly transplanted patients and its relationship with patient anxiety following discharge as well as the prevention of 30-day readmissions for kidney transplant recipients. The primary hypothesis is that the treatment group of patients who undergo a targeted mentorship program will be better compliant with the discharge instructions and will perform better when compared to the control group who undergoes current routine post-transplantation care. Evidence from this experiment can help advance our understanding of patient-engagement in the continuity of care delivery, decrease patient readmission rates, and improve overall cost utilization.
Methods:
The investigators will conduct a single institution randomized control trial assigning patients getting discharged after a kidney transplant to a treatment group that involves a 30-day mentoring initiative by former transplant patients, and comparing the efficacy with a similar control group. The overall study period will be divided into the following sections, summarized in Figure 1.

参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的：Treatment Arm
Patients assigned to treatment arm will receive standard post-transplantation discharge care that includes weekly follow-up visits and 24-hour access to transplant triage call center.
In addition, they will be matched with a mentor who will conduct 5 meetings with the patients (which includes one video chat meeting, 4 30-minute phone calls) and discuss the following topics related to post-discharge: Medications, Lab Work, Fluid Intake and Adherence to doctor's appointment

Phone Conversations on the importance of complying to discharge instructions delivered before discharge

无干预：Control Arm
Control arm recipient will receive standard post-transplantation discharge care that includes weekly follow-up visits and 24-hour access to transplant triage call center
