Remote Patient Management

Enhancing APD programs with Sharesource 

Sharesource is a two-way remote patient management (RPM) platform that enables healthcare professionals to securely view and act upon APD patients' treatment data, including adjusting patients' device programs without an additional trip to the clinic.1

With over 60 million treatments delivered globally, including 20 million in the U.S., the Sharesource is the most evidenced remote PD patient management technology available.2

Personalized care

Sharesource provides the treatment data healthcare professionals need to review and, if necessary, use to adjust treatment,  in order to personalize their patients’ therapy remotely and with confidence.

A growing body of evidence shows that Sharesource may help reduce patient complications3,4 and hospitalizations5-7 and promote treatment adherence8,9 — with the goal of improving patient outcomes and clinic resource optimization.

Making informed decisions

With on-demand access to historical treatment data, Sharesource can help clinicians make informed treatment decisions for patients.

Improving patient compliance

The Sharesource Clinical Dashboard indicates when a patient stops a treatment early or skips a treatment altogether. This may help identify and resolve compliance issues with prescribed treatments.

Increasing clinic efficiencies

Tracking treatment data in Sharesource for multiple patients offers the potential to improve clinic efficiencies by enabling prioritization of resources.

Implementation that is simple by design

Vantive provides the modem for patient devices, and Sharesource utilizes cloud-based technology, so there is little-to-no IT investment required. 

Compelling evidence to use an APD cycler with Sharesource for remote patient management

Sharesource is the most evidenced based two-way remote PD patient management technology available.8,10-13

Transparent patient adherence8

Establishes transparency to patient adherence patterns and may facilitate early intervention.

See the evidence

Proactive patient management10

Enables clinicians to spend a greater proportion of time on proactive patient care.

See the evidence

Improved fluid management11

With Sharesource, remote management of patients is ensured, and patients are actively kept in treatment. As a result, ultrafiltration and dialysis efficiency of patients increase with improved treatment adherence, and blood pressure regulation can be achieved with fewer antihypertensive drugs.

See the evidence

Reduction in hospitalisation5

The remote monitoring technology specifically designed to be integrated into APD systems gives both patients and their clinical teams a powerful tool that can enhance communication, potentially improve adherence to treatment, and provide the potential for early intervention of complications of therapy.

See the evidence

Reduction in drop-out12

Retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study of 558 prevalent adult APD patients demonstrated a lower drop-out rate in the APD-RPM cohort versus the APD cohort.

See the evidence

Increased time on therapy13

Retrospective, observational, multicenter, cohort study of 574 incident patients undergoing APD (propensity matched) demonstrated that APD patients with RPM remained on PD 3.2 months longer than those without RPM.

See the evidence

Reduction in resource utilisation14

A simulated study that estimates the potential impact of RPM on APD patients’ use of healthcare resources and costs in the US, Germany and Italy.

See the evidence

Reduction of Costs & Resources15

Sharesource reduces costs and resources: There was a statistically significant reduction in the number of in-person visits required by patients, leading to a statistically significant reduction in the costly time spent by physicians and nurses during 
each inpatient visit.

See the evidence

Reduction of Costs & Resources16

Remote monitoring in chronic disease management may significantly improve an individual’s quality of life, allowing patients to maintain independence and avoid complications. Remote monitoring technology has the potential to reduce clinic appointments, monitor patients more efficiently, allow timely changes to patient care, reduce travel burden on the patients attending clinic, increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs.

See the evidence

Patient Management & Efficiency15

The Sharesource may help improve patient management and efficiency: Establishing remote patient management (RPM) in 3 UK hospitals has allowed PD nurses to spend 35% more time on proactive tasks, improving patient management and efficiency.

Our automated peritoneal dialysis systems

Sharesource is available with our automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) systems. Learn more about our Homechoice Claria APD and Amia APD systems.

Important Safety Information

For the safe and proper use of the products mentioned herein, please refer to the appropriate Instructions for Use or the appropriate Operator's Manual

Intended Use

The Amia Automated PD System is intended for automatic control of dialysate solution exchanges in the treatment of adult renal failure patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. All therapies using the Amia Automated PD System must be prescribed and performed under the responsibility of a physician who is familiar and well-informed about peritoneal dialysis.

Homechoice Claria APD system is intended for automatic control of dialysis solution exchanges in the treatment of pediatric and adult renal failure patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in the home healthcare environment including comparable use in professional healthcare facilities.

The Sharesource portal is intended for use by healthcare professionals to remotely communicate with compatible dialysis instruments and transfer data to a central database to aid in the review, analysis, and evaluation of patients’ historical treatment results. This system is not intended to be a substitute for good clinical management practices nor does its operation create decisions or treatment pathways.
