Summary

Shepherd Center is bringing a more patient-centered focus to educational, peer-support, and technology resources offered to patients with spinal cord injury and their families and is evaluating these changes.

Approximately 740 patients have provided information about healthcare utilization following inpatient rehabilitation. This information will help Shepherd Center staff follow utilization trends and plan programs targeted at the high-use areas.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Peer Group

Interventions

OTHER

Peer directed education

No drug or device is included. The intervention of interest is the redesigned approach to inpatient education that follows the Stanford chronic disease self management approach which includes peer-led problem solving discussions compared to traditional didactic education lectures provided by nurse educators

OTHER

Patient Engagement Portal

No drug or device interventions. The Engagement Portal is populated by electronic medication record information (demographics, medications, supplies) then owned/maintained by patient after discharge. This approach to managing information and conditions associated with injury will be compared to the traditional approach of providing patients with a large instruction manual to carry home with them.
