简要总结
The overall goal of the project is to reduce pain-related, 30-day readmission rates for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. The investigators want to see if a mobile phone application (app) can help decrease the need for repeat admission to the hospital because of sickle cell pain.
详细描述
Pain is the main reason why SCD patients are admitted and readmitted to the hospital. In fact, readmission rates of SCD patients are higher than those of asthmatics and diabetics. In order to reduce 30-day hospital readmission rates and improve patient care quality, the Affordable Care Act and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have established the Readmissions Reduction Program. In keeping with this effort, the investigators propose a methodology and supporting technology that has the potential to change the way SCD patients are monitored after hospital discharge and in turn, decrease readmission rates. This methodology also has the potential to enhance the quality of life of SCD patients by improving patient reporting, self-efficacy, and increasing patient/provider engagement when there is worsening pain and increased admission/readmission risk. This software platform uses validated Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures to remotely monitor SCD patients' pain and related outcomes after hospital discharge. With this initial study, the investigators propose to use this monitoring platform to identify the predictors of readmission, to develop a readmission prediction engine, and to design the next version of the app with built in interventions to address those readmission risks. This monitoring platform could also increase healthcare provider engagement when there is a worsening of patients' pain and/or an increased risk of readmission. In order to build and optimize this monitoring platform, the investigators have assembled a team of engineers, hematologists, pain researchers, and statisticians that have worked together, and who collectively have the expertise to develop and test the feasibility and predictive value of the application in a large population of SCD patients.

入选标准
- •Participants with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) (HbSS, HbSC, HbSβ0 thalassemia, HbSβ+ thalassemia, HbSOArab) admitted to the hospital for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOE)-related pain within the age range of 8 - 21 years.
- •Ability to provide informed consent/assent, comply with study related procedures, evaluations, and follow-up. In the event that a patient does not have a smart mobile device (i.e., one that can support the study application), one will be provided for the patient. Patients younger than the age of 11 years may use their parents phone if they do not have one. If a patient has a smart mobile device but their parent does not want them to use the device for the study, the patient may use their parent's phone instead.
- •Parent of participants with SCD (HbSS, HbSC, HbSβ0 thalassemia, HbSβ+ thalassemia HbSOArab) admitted to the hospital for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOE)-related pain within the age range of 8 - 17 years who has assented to participate in the study.
- •Ability to provide informed consent, comply with study related procedures, evaluations, and follow-up. In the event that a parent does not have a mobile device, one will be provided for the duration of the study.
排除标准
- •Inability to give informed consent/assent as determined by the investigators
- •Patients with SCD who were admitted for reasons other than VOE-related pain
- •Parents of patients with SCD who were admitted for reasons other than VOE-related pain or do not assent to participate
结局指标
主要结局
Readmission rate
时间窗: 35 days
The investigators want to determine if the use of this mobile app by itself reduces readmission rates. The investigators will compare the readmission rate of patients who use this mobile app with those who do not.
Readmission risk
时间窗: 35 days
The rate of hospital readmission will be estimated by time periods (e.g., 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after discharge).
次要结局
- Patient Usability(35 days)
- Patient Compliance(35 days)
