Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will study physician-patient communication at the UCMC nephrology fellow clinic and to test an intervention, the CKD Report Card, to improve that communication and patient knowledge of CKD.

Description:

The goals of the study are to 1) characterize the effectiveness and patient-centeredness of patient-physician interaction during a nephrology clinic visit both with and without use of the CKD Report Card, and 2) to determine which physician and patient characteristics are associated with effective and patient centered communication. There will be block enrollment. For Nephrology physicians who agreed to participate will complete a baseline questionnaire. Research assistants will approach patients of participating providers in clinic waiting rooms, with the goal of enrolling patients for each provider For half of the study, investigators will enroll patients in the study and observe patient-physician communication and use a survey measure CKD knowledge pre-visit and post-visit. For the second half of the study, investigators will give participants the CKD Report Card, an investigator-developed handout, to use during the clinic visit. Investigators will observe patient-physician communication and use a survey to measure CKD knowledge pre-visit and post-visit. For both groups, eligible participants will give informed consent and will complete a baseline questionnaire; research assistants will place a digital audio-recording device in the examination room to record the patient-provider encounter. Following the medical encounter, research assistants will administered an interview with patients, assessing demographic, social, and behavioral characteristics, as well as their experience of care and ratings of provider communication.
