Best practices-based shared decision making for modality selection in renal care
The LifePlan Patient Success Platform improves patient outcomes by implementing effective shared decision-making, the best practice for integrating patient preferences, values, and capabilities into the clinical process. Our unique approach drives engagement and builds trust with and between patients and HCPs. LifePlan is built on a modern platform architecture designed to integrate and scale across franchises.
Introduction to Shared Decision Making (SDM), and the LifePlan Platform
Shared decision making (SDM) is the gold standard for integrating patient preferences, values and abilities into the modality selection process to increase optimal starts, reduce renal replacement therapy (RRT) treatment failures, and increase patient satisfaction.
Yet, shared decision making often doesn’t live up to its potential, with an overreliance on paper-based materials and manual processes that are not engaging or efficient.
Our approach is a fully digital shared decision making tool for modality selection in renal care that embodies the known best practices of SDM.
Deliver tailored, best-in-class education that patients can access anywhere, anytime.
Real patient stories and a structured curriculum of CKD basics and treatment options education. Q&A reflection activities allow patients to save their questions for their next visit.
CKD LifePlan digital assessments and surveys are easy for your patients to complete; interactive, and designed for digital delivery.
Surveys and assessments within LifePlan are designed to help your patients reflect on their values, needs, and preferences, and engage with you, as a clinician, in Shared Decision Making.
Treatment fit is affected by a person’s values, lifestyle, and context, in addition to their biology. LifePlan decision aids help patients engage in the process, reflecting upon their values, goals, and preferences in a structured way .
Importantly, our decision aids are embedded in a shared decision-making process to help facilitate communication with family and the clinical team, which can lead to better understanding, alignment, and trust, and ultimately improve patient success on treatment.
