Pragmatic Randomized, Controlled Trial of Patient Navigators and Enhanced Personal Health Records in CKD

Abstract

We successfully developed a patient navigator program and an enhanced personal health record for the CKD population. However, there were no differences in eGFR decline and other outcomes among the study groups. Larger and long-term studies along with cost-effectiveness analyses are needed to evaluate the role of patient navigators and patient education through an enhanced personal health record in those with CKD.
