Development and Implementation of an Acute Kidney Injury Remote Patient Monitoring Program: Research Letter.

Unlabelled: Acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors have a dynamic posthospital course which warrants close monitoring. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) could be used to improve quality and efficiency of AKI survivor care.

Objective: The objective of this report was to describe the development and preliminary feasibility of an AKI RPM program launched in October 2021.

Provider Perspectives and Clinical Outcomes with Inpatient Telenephrology.

Background And Objectives: Despite the dramatic increase in the provision of virtual nephrology care, only anecdotal reports of outcomes without comparators to usual care exist in the literature. This study aimed to provide objective determination of clinical noninferiority of hybrid (telenephrology plus face-to-face) versus standard (face-to-face) inpatient nephrology care.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This retrospective study compares objective outcomes in patients who received inpatient hybrid care versus standard nephrology care at two Mayo Clinic Health System community hospitals.

Telehealth versus face-to-face visits: A comprehensive outpatient perspective-based cohort study of patients with kidney disease.

Background: Telenephrology has become an important health care delivery modality during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about patient perspectives on the quality of care provided via telenephrology compared to face-to-face visits. We aimed to use objective data to study patients' perspectives on outpatient nephrology care received via telenephrology (phone and video) versus face-to-face visits.

Orthopedic Surgery Referral Pattern Analysis per Demographic Factors Among Patients Diagnosed With Severe Peripheral Artery Disease in Terms of Partial or Total Limb Amputation.

Introduction: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) signifies the obstruction of blood vessels in the lower extremities due to harmful buildup of fatty material. Patients may present to their primary care provider complaining of lower extremity pain, especially during exercise. Primary care providers must weigh the severity of patients' disease process to determine if an orthopedic surgery referral is needed based on an extensive history as well as analysis of demographic factors that may influence their risk of morbidity and mortality.
