简要总结
More than 80% of individuals in the U.S. start maintenance hemodialysis (HD) with a central venous catheter, despite substantial evidence that starting HD with an arteriovenous (AV) access improves quality of life, lowers mortality, and decreases healthcare costs. Health system- and patient-level barriers contribute to low rates of AV access creation prior to HD initiation. Evidence-based, pre-dialysis interventions to improve these low rates and associated clinical outcomes are lacking.
A Vascular Access Navigation and Education Quality Improvement Program will be implemented in the Geisinger Danville, PA chronic kidney disease clinic. Individuals who choose to participate in a research sub-study of the program will complete questionnaires to assess their vascular access care knowledge and confidence before and after participation in the quality improvement program.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Scores of a Questionnaire Evaluating Patient Confidence in Navigating Vascular Access Care Pre- to Post-program Implementation
时间窗: Pre- and post-intervention, a total of up to 7 months
Patient confidence in ability to navigate the vascular access creation process. Measured using 3 team-developed confidence questions (score range: 1-10). Higher scores reflect higher confidence in navigating vascular access care.
Mean Scores of a Questionnaire Evaluating Patient Confidence in Self-managing Kidney Disease Pre- to Post-program Implementation
时间窗: Pre- and post-intervention, a total of up to 7 months
Patient confidence in ability to self-manage kidney disease. Measured using a modified version of the 8-item Perceived Kidney Disease Self-Management Scale (score range: 8-40). Higher scores reflect higher confidence in self-management of patient's kidney disease.
Mean Scores of a Questionnaire Evaluating Patient Vascular Access Knowledge Pre- to Post-program Implementation
时间窗: Pre- and post-intervention, a total of up to 7 months
Patient vascular access care knowledge. Measured using 8 team-developed knowledge questions (score range: 0-10). Higher scores reflect higher knowledge of vascular access.
Mean Scores of a Questionnaire Evaluating Provider Confidence Supporting Patients Through the Vascular Access Care Process Pre- to Post-program Implementation
时间窗: Pre- and post-intervention, a total of up to 7 months
Provider confidence in ability to help patients navigate the vascular access creation process. Measured using 11 team-developed confidence questions (score range: 1-10). Higher scores reflect higher confidence supporting patients through the vascular access care process.
