Sponsor's own description
Successful communication between patients, caregivers, and physicians can improve how patients feel about their treatment. Our recent studies of older dialysis patients find, however, that many patients do not engage in this type of communication about treatment options. This study aims to determine whether the Decision-Aid for Renal Therapy (DART), a web-based program, can improve shared decision-making (decisions where patients are actively engaged) among patients, caregivers, and physicians, and improve certainty and satisfaction in treatment decisions.
