Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall response rate of EQ-5D-5L & IPOS renal surveys calculated as the number of complete surveys over the total number of surveys given to patients[EQ-5D-5L surveys at baseline and 6 months and IPOS-Renal surveys at baseline, 3 and 6 months];Overall completeness of surveys, calculated as the proportion of core questions completed per survey (some questions from the IPOS Renal are optional and these will not be included in completeness calculations)[EQ-5D-5L surveys at baseline and 6 months and IPOS-Renal surveys at baseline, 3 and 6 months];Thematic analysis of transcripts from interviews with nurse unit managers and nephrologists and focus groups with patients to elicit the facilitators and barriers to implementation of electronic patient reported outcome measures (ePROMs)[Focus groups and interviews with patients and clinical staff after completion of the 6 month ePROMs data collection]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time taken to complete ePROMs data collection, measured using metrics built into Qualtrics[EQ-5D-5L surveys at baseline and 6 months and IPOS-Renal surveys at baseline, 3 and 6 months];Email activity metrics (measured via Mail Chimp) to examine the proportion of feedback emails that were opened[Baseline, 3 and 6 months for intervention arm (no measurement for control arm as no symptom score emails are sent)];Representativeness of patient population, by examining the cohort who participated in the trial compared to the eligible cohort (identified using ANZDATA)[Total number of participants at each site who were enrolled in the trial at the time of site commencement, compared to those eligible for participation at the time of site enrolment.]
