Episode Details:
What you’ll get out of this episode
Listen in as host Tim Fitzpatrick chats with Dr. Gupta about different barriers to education and treatment selection for people with kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure (ESKD). Shammi dives into how Monogram Health is supporting care teams in over 30 states to educate their patients, delay disease progression, experience home dialysis options, and design care plans with social support and individual goals in mind.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- How the current dialysis education approach often scares patients away from home dialysis due to a lack of available hands-on education and shortened time to make a decision.
- The disconnect between what physicians think and what patients want, given that 90% of kidney doctors would choose to do home dialysis while just 10% of patients is at home today.
- Why it’s so important for care teams to consider the whole person beyond their treatment prescription, and what role the multidisciplinary care team plays in meeting those needs
- Why allowing patients to visit a home dialysis center and meet a home dialysis patient leads to patients visualizing the process and removing their fear of home dialysis.
- How experiential learning enables patients to feel more empowered to pursue new treatment options like home dialysis
