Application-based perioperative management of the radical cystectomy patient.
2018
480Background: Radical cystectomy patients are a vulnerable population, with up to 65% suffering complications and 26% readmitted within 90 days. Perioperative education, early identification of patients at risk, and discharge transitions remain central to improving outcomes. This project aimed to examine the feasibility of using LifeScience Technologies tablet-based application (LST app) for perioperative patient education, transition care communications, and post-discharge monitoring. Methods: We initiated a prospective feasibility pilot trial (NCT NCT02942121) in 20 patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Participants were provided an iPad preloaded with the LST app and equipment to measure vital signs during the study. Patient education videos tailored to each individual based on gender and diversion type were sent via the app for viewing preoperatively. Postoperatively participants were asked to log medication compliance and vital signs. Vital equipment was wirelessly transmittable, and the study tea...
