PatientOnLine
The latest ISPD guideline on prescribing high-quality, goal-directed PD has been written with the focus on the person doing PD.1 Person-centric approaches canÄ¢¹½´«Ã½¯empower patients to make choices that best fit their lifestyle needs,Ä¢¹½´«Ã½¯enhance their well-being, improveÄ¢¹½´«Ã½¯the quality of care, and add to theÄ¢¹½´«Ã½¯sustainability of health systems.2
To support the concept of the right therapy modality, at the right time and place, digital solutions have the potential to assist healthcare professionals to tailor prescriptions to their patient needs.
Introducing PatientOnLine
Ìý
Ä¢¹½´«Ã½Ä¢¹½´«Ã½™s PatientOnLine software is designed to simplify PD therapy management by supporting clinical decision-making and enhancing team efficiency through improved access to patient therapy information.
It integrates PD therapy processes with clinical assessment tools that can fit easily into your daily routine:
- Individual prescription and modelling support
- Treatment results and analysis
- PD Quality Assurance tests
- Patient follow-up, reports and statistics
PatientOnLine facilitates easy prescription tailoring
- Individualizing your patientsÄ¢¹½´«Ã½™ CAPD or APD treatments, by:
- Determining the suitable PD treatment modality for your patients, and
- The possibility to adjust each dwell based on time, volume and solution type in the prescription
- Using the prescription-modelling tool to simulate if your patients can reach dialysis targets
- Navigating through detailed sets of information to know patient's overall status
- Bringing transparency to current patient status by factoring in the adequacy test results
- Considering the history of Quality Assurance tests to assess disease and treatment progression

Supporting treatment decisions via prescription modelling
Designed to work with you, PatientOnLine gives you options. You can create a new prescription or use prescription modelling in order to assess the potential outcome of an existing one - the approach you take is entirely up to you.*
You can choose between:
- Entering your desired dialysis targets and PatientOnLine will generate a prescription or
- Entering a prescription and PatientOnLine will provide you with an estimation of possible dialysis outcomes
Ìý
Comprehensive statistical reports allow you to see therapy trend over time
PatientOnLine software quickly generates needed statistical analysis, allowing you to extrapolate vital information needed for continual therapy improvement and scientific research:
- Statistical information means that your medical team can refine their therapeutic decisions and objectively choose between various strategies
- Understand current patient condition by analyzing the trend of key medical parameters such as kidney function, clearances and nutritional status
- Evaluate individual patients or your entire patient population to identify how many are reaching adequacy targets and other parameters
- Create performance related reports for clinical benchmarking, such as infection rate analysis. This statistical analysis gives you the chance to investigate and initiate new research topics

*The deployment of any PD treatment regimen remains the responsibility of the attending physician.
