Abstract
In June 2015, Sharesource, a cloud-based, bi-directional connectivity platform, was launched by Baxter Healthcare in the UK. With this came the ability to use remote patient management (RPM) with peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in an easy, standardized manner across dialysis units. Improved nursing efficiency and patient outcomes, achieved utilizing RPM include individualized PD patient prescriptions, early detection and prevention of potential PD complications, reduced planned and unplanned hospital attendance, reduced drop off, and increased healthcare professional and patient/carer confidence in self-care. These are illustrated with Case Studies. The potential to reduce glucose exposure is explored and for PD units yet to use RPM, lessons learned during the implementation of Sharesource are shared.
期刊介绍:
The speed of developments in nephrology has been fueled by the promise that new findings may improve the care of patients suffering from renal disease. Participating in these rapid advances, this series has released an exceptional number of volumes that explore problems of immediate importance for clinical nephrology. Focus ranges from discussion of innovative treatment strategies to critical evaluations of investigative methodology. The value of regularly consolidating the newest findings and theories is enhanced through the inclusion of extensive bibliographies which make each volume a reference work deserving careful study.
