研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-procedure patient reminder systems on patient satisfaction, preparedness, and anxiety among patients undergoing urodynamics studies. The rate of successful procedure completion will be compared between a prospective intervention group and a historical control group to determine whether the intervention improves procedural success and healthcare delivery.

入选标准
- •Age 18 years or older
- •Sex assigned at birth: Female.
- •English-speaking
- •Scheduled to undergo a urodynamics study at the OSU Upper Arlington Outpatient Clinic, OSU New Albany Outpatient Clinic, or OSU Eye and Ear Institute
- •Ability to access a telephone
- •Active MyChart account
- •Ability to provide informed consent
- •Documented post-residual volume of less than 150 mL
- •Ability to be reached by telephone after three call attempts
- •Negative point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the scheduled procedure (SOC)
排除标准
- •Under 18 years of age
- •Patients with structural causes of urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying (defined as a post-void residual >150ml) or a positive point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the procedure.
- •Men are excluded as the population of interest is the female urogynecology population in both urology and obstetrics and gynecology.
- •Patients without access to a telephone or an active MyChart account are excluded because the intervention relies on telephone calls and electronic messaging for delivery of pre-procedure education and reminders.
- •Individuals who cannot be reached by telephone are excluded because they cannot receive the intervention.
- •Non-English speaking individuals are excluded because they will not be able to receive the standardized phone call in English and will not be able to complete the informed consent.
研究组 & 干预措施
using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies
The study intervention will include all participating patients receiving a phone call from a study team member reading from a script before their scheduled appointment. The phone call will involve consenting the patient for the study and a reminder to come in for the study with a comfortably full bladder, avoiding utilizing the lobby restroom before the appointment.
干预措施: Patient reminder system (Other)
not using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies
Participants for the historical control group will be identified through retrospective review of electronic medical records of patients who previously underwent scheduled urodynamics studies.
结局指标
主要结局
Percent decrease in urodynamics procedure completion failure rate in patients who received the reminder system before scheduled urodynamics procedures vs. patients who did not receive the reminder
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)
Completion failure is defined as a uroflow less than 150 mL
次要结局
- Evaluate anxiety before and after a urodynamics (UDS) procedure after delivery of a patient reminder system.(From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week))
- Evaluate patient satisfaction and preparedness before and after a urodynamic study after delivery of a patient reminder system.(From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week))
