Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The long-term goal is to improve clinical and patient-centered outcomes in patients transitioning from Chronic Kidney Disease Stage (CKD) IV and V to dialysis-requiring ESRD. The short-term goal of this pilot project is to evaluate the feasibility of delivering digital-enabled ESRD education to patients with CKD stage IV and V (eGFR\<30ml/min/1.73m2, not yet on dialysis) in clinical care. The investigators will provide this education in the form of in-person nurse advice, online digital content including videos, and online messaging with a nurse, moderated patient group and peer mentor. The main objective of the educational program will be to 1) Increase awareness of options, 2) Prioritize options based on patient lifestyle and values, 3) Build confidence in modality decision.
The investigators will develop individualized, digitalized educational content (which includes videos, text and illustration) for patients with CKD that will increase awareness of ESRD care options including in-home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and choosing not to have dialysis. Patients will enroll in a month-long program during which they have access to the educational app, including lifestyle and modality educational content and online messaging where they can access a nurse for 1 on 1 discussion, a patient mentor for 1 on 1 discussion, and a patient group for group mentorship exercises. The investigators will pilot these materials in patients at high risk of progression to dialysis and evaluate the primary outcomes of whether they were able to complete the program and make a modality choice. Secondary outcomes will include assessments to determine the intervention's impact on patient dialysis modality awareness and likelihood of choosing a home-dialysis modality. At the end of the study, the investigators will provide an insights report to the study participants' doctors and survey the doctors to ascertain their perspectives on the usefulness of the educational program for their patients' care.

Digital Education
1 month digital education program
Digital Education
Online videos, illustrations, and text materials designed to improve participants' awareness and understanding of kidney function, kidney disease, kidney failure options, peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, in-center hemodialysis, kidney transplant, medical management, and treatment decision. Also includes online messaging system and discussion board designed to allow participants to message study nurse and peer mentor, as well as to engage in group discussion in an open forum and about specific scenarios.
