Article Synopsis
- Clinicians and patients report issues with the connections between primary and tertiary healthcare, particularly affecting those transitioning to dialysis, highlighting a need for better understanding and improvement of service navigation.
- * A qualitative study with 25 dialysis patients revealed three key themes: changing GP relationships, the need for ownership in kidney care, and better communication between nephrologists and GPs, indicating a lack of coordinated care.
- * The fragmentation in healthcare services leads to patient stress, decreased confidence in providers, and reliance on tertiary care, suggesting the need for future studies focused on improving health system integration and patient experiences.
Objectives: To codesign and assess the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of a hospital-initiated, community delivered approach to health optimization (prehab) prior to planned surgery.
Design: Participatory codesign combined with a prospective, observational cohort study (April-July 2022).
Setting: A large metropolitan tertiary referral service with 2 participating hospitals.
