Impact Study of a Digital Solution for Patient Engagement

Descripción
The Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU) of Strasbourg develops new minimally invasive therapies, the benefit of which is maximized by an integrated approach to the care pathway (pre, per and postoperative).
Encouraging patient engagement in the process responds to its growing demand for information and consideration, enhances its care experience and clinical outcomes. Patient engagement promotes accelerated rehabilitation and reduces complications and readmissions, which is also beneficial in terms of public health.
Medtronic has designed a digital solution for patient engagement (current name: "Get Ready") for scheduled colorectal surgery, for which the IHU is a pilot experiment site. This research protocol aims at evaluating the use and the impact of this solution made available to the patients of the Hepato-Digestive Pole (PHD) of the New Civil Hospital.
Multiple professionals dispense instructions and information to patients. The active accompaniment of the patient in his rehabilitation process is carried out mainly in the postoperative phase, during the hospital stay.
The solution deployed at the Strasbourg IHU aims to improve the patient's preparation for his colorectal surgery and follow his rehabilitation after surgery, by reinforcing his compliance with existing protocols and enriching it with complementary practices.
The solution offers a pre-operative program of information (pathology, treatment modalities, protocols to be followed) and training (stress management, psychological support, optional: nutritional preparation, physical exercise, reduction of alcohol and tobacco consumption). In the post-operative phase, patients must daily assess their state of health (temperature, weight, wound, nausea / vomiting, urine / stool) and well-being (physical, moral, sleep, pain), from day 1 to day 7 after discharge, to facilitate the detection of complications by the medical team.
The program is personalized by patient, according to its management (type of surgery, duration of the program) and its state of health (choice of options adapted by the doctor).
The solution has three components to interact with the patient:
- A website, offering information and activities adapted to the patient's journey. A second site allows the licensed care team to track adherence and patient-reported data.
- SMS (Short Message Service) notifications, for the patient who can and wants to receive SMS. It encourages the monitoring of the program (reminders).
- An on-site IHU support team, accessible by phone and email. She ensures the smooth running of the program, supervises the information declared by the patient and relays his questions to the relevant interlocutors (care team, technical experts).
The solution is not a medical device. It is limited to advice, monitoring and restitution of data declared by the patient; it is not intended to prevent, diagnose or treat the pathology; it is independent of any other medical device.
The solution processes personal information. Particular vigilance is therefore given to security: compliance with legislation, state-of-the-art techniques used, respect for privacy from the upstream and by default, transparency and control, security measures (eg data encryption, double authentication, lack of interfaces to other information systems, accredited health host).
According to the literature, the preparation of the patient for surgery makes it possible to shorten the length of stay, the perioperative morbidity, the delay to come back to normal activity. This medical impact results in a reduction in post-operative costs (reduction of the length of stay, complications and readmissions), for the health facility and the payer. Improvement and systematization of the solution should help generate these savings.
The impact of the solution on the workload and the organization of the care team is to be specified.
This study aims to assess the pre-operative impact of the solution, in terms of patients' adherence to the pre-operative program and correlations with their physical and psychological condition until their admission to surgery.
