Electronic patient-reported outcomes in clinical kidney practice (ePRO Kidney): a process evaluation of educational support for clinicians.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly mandated in kidney care to incorporate patients' perspectives.

Objectives

We assessed whether educational support for clinicians using electronic (e)PROs could enhance person-centered care.

Design

A process evaluation, using a mixed methods longitudinal comparative concurrent design was undertaken of educational support to clinicians on routine use of ePROs. In two urban home dialysis clinics in Alberta, Canada, patients completed ePROs. At the implementation site, clinicians were provided with ePROs and clinician-oriented education via voluntary workshops. At the non-implementation site, neither were provided. Person-centered care was measured using the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care-20 (PACIC-2
