Study Details

Brief summary:

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.

1. Age 18 years or older
2. Sex assigned at birth: Female.
3. English-speaking
4. Scheduled to undergo a urodynamics study at the OSU Upper Arlington Outpatient Clinic, OSU New Albany Outpatient Clinic, or OSU Eye and Ear Institute
5. Ability to access a telephone
6. Active MyChart account
7. Ability to provide informed consent
8. Documented post-residual volume of less than 150 mL
9. Ability to be reached by telephone after three call attempts
10. Negative point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the scheduled procedure (SOC)

Exclusion criteria:

1. Under 18 years of age
2. 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.
3. Men are excluded as the population of interest is the female urogynecology population in both urology and obstetrics and gynecology.
4. 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.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies

The study intervention will include all participating patients receiving a phone call from a study team member reading from a script before their scheduled appointment. The phone call will involve consenting the patient for the study and a reminder to come in for the study with a comfortably full bladder, avoiding utilizing the lobby restroom before the appointment.

no intervention: not using patient reminder systems before scheduled urodynamics studies

Participants for the historical control group will be identified through retrospective review of electronic medical records of patients who previously underwent scheduled urodynamics studies.

Interventions

Patient reminder system

Using 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.

Primary outcome measure

  • 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 [ Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of the urodynamics study (less than 1 week) ]
