Official title
Does Under-recognition of Kidney Disease Affect Patient Safety?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, but it is often over-looked in patients with this disease when they are getting medical treatment. Patients with CKD have special needs for their medical treatment. When these special needs are not considered their medical care may lead to unintended harm (called safety events) which can cause hospitalization, more kidney problems, and even death. This research study has two purposes. The first purpose is to determine how participants feel about wearing a medical alert bracelet or necklace that alerts health care workers that the user of the bracelet or necklace has decreased kidney function. Medical alert bracelets are often recommended for people who have other medical problems, such as diabetes. This medical alert bracelet or necklace has an address to an informational website about the safe care of patients with kidney problems. The investigators think that alerting health care workers that a person has decreased kidney function may decrease their chances of having a medical injury and improve the safety of their care. The second purpose of this research study is to track how often people with kidney problems may be exposed to medicines, tests, or procedures that might increase their chance of having an accidental medical injury or safety event. Though some medical injuries can not be prevented, the investigators want to find out what medical events in patients with kidney problems might be preventable. The investigators also want to find out if other things might increase a patient's chances of getting a medical injury, such as physical weakness or medical instructions that might be confusing.
