Improving Uroflowmetry Interpretability: Evaluating the Impact of Patient Reminder Systems
Trial statusRecruiting

About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-procedure patient reminder systems on patient satisfaction, preparedness, and anxiety among patients undergoing urodynamics studies. The rate of successful procedure completion will be compared between a prospective intervention group and a historical control group to determine whether the intervention improves procedural success and healthcare delivery.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18 years or older
Sex assigned at birth: Female.
English-speaking
Scheduled to undergo a urodynamics study at the OSU Upper Arlington Outpatient Clinic, OSU New Albany Outpatient Clinic, or OSU Eye and Ear Institute
Disqualifiers
Under 18 years of age
Patients with structural causes of urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying (defined as a post-void residual >150ml) or a positive point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the procedure.
Men are excluded as the population of interest is the female urogynecology population in both urology and obstetrics and gynecology.
Patients without access to a telephone or an active MyChart account are excluded because the intervention relies on telephone calls and electronic messaging for delivery of pre-procedure education and reminders.
Trial design
Design model
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Patient reminder system
Other interventionUsing patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies on patient satisfaction, preparedness, anxiety, and successful completion of the procedure to improve healthcare delivery by comparing a prospective intervention group with a historical control group.
Treatment groups
162 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studiesExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: not using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studiesNo intervention 0 interventions
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Percent decrease in urodynamics procedure completion failure rate in patients who received the reminder system before scheduled urodynamics procedures vs. patients who did not receive the reminder
Completion failure is defined as a uroflow less than 150 mL
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)Secondary outcomes
1
Evaluate anxiety before and after a urodynamics (UDS) procedure after delivery of a patient reminder system.
Anxiety is measured by patient completion of ST-STAI before and after the UDS study.
Time frame
From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week)2
Evaluate patient satisfaction and preparedness before and after a urodynamic study after delivery of a patient reminder system.
Patient satisfaction and preparedness for the procedure will be assessed using Likert-style items via a survey issued to patients before and after the UDS study.
