Abstract
Person-centered care is a system of care delivery that supports effective patient-clinician communication and empowers patients to partner with their clinical providers to develop goal-concordant treatment plans. Models of person-centered care often involve the implementation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to measure patients’ symptoms and quality of life as they navigate complex chronic health conditions. Models of person-centered care have been particularly effective in improving the quality of care delivery for older adults as well as younger adults with aging-associated conditions such as physical function decline. Though PROs have been developed and validated in kidney disease, they are not routinely implemented in clinical practice. Most individuals with kidney disease are 65 and older, but many younger individuals with kidney disease also experience aging-associated conditions earlier than in the general population. Thus, PROs represent an important tool for achieving person-centered care in groups with kidney disease who are the most vulnerable to adverse health outcomes and excess health care utilization. In this article, we aim to move toward more routine implementation of PROs in kidney care for aging adults. To identify the most clinically relevant PROs for this group and understand the ideal mode and context in which to implement PROs, we will (1) provide an evidence-based summary of PROs with the greatest prognostic significance in the general population and in kidney disease, including those specific to older adults; (2) describe barriers to the implementation of PROs in kidney care with a special focus on the needs of older adults and younger adults with aging-associated conditions; and (3) conclude with our evidence-based recommendations for the content, time, and context in which PROs should be implemented to achieve person-centered kidney care for aging adults.
