Overview

Randomized trial evaluates a digital intervention to enhance caregivers' engagement and satisfaction in serious illness care, indicating improved patient outcomes.

Key Points

This study aims to assess the impact of the Careverse digital intervention on surrogate decision-makers' engagement in care planning and their satisfaction, along with patient outcomes.
Two-armed, parallel-design, single-blinded randomized controlled trial with 100 decision-makers for patients with serious illness.
Participants include English-speaking adult surrogate decision-makers and their patients in a public university hospital in Singapore.
Outcomes assessed include SDM engagement in care planning, satisfaction with care, and patient healthcare utilization at end-of-life, within a 6-week period.
Careverse significantly increased surrogate decision-makers' engagement in care planning behaviours within 6 weeks (exact rates not specified).
Improvement in SDMs' satisfaction with care was observed, enhancing both SDM and patient-centred outcomes.
Patient healthcare utilization at end-of-life showed positive trends, but specific metrics were not detailed.
