What this trial studies
This project aims to enhance the perioperative care pathway for patients undergoing nephrectomy for kidney tumors by implementing the UroConnect remote monitoring device. The study will evaluate how this digital tool can optimize nursing coordination and patient support across multiple French medical centers. By formalizing the role of nurse coordinators and utilizing digital interfaces for patient education and self-assessment, the project seeks to improve the overall quality of care and streamline the surgical process. The impact on patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system will be assessed through this innovative approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could significantly improve the quality of care and patient experience for those undergoing surgery for kidney tumors.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of digital tools in surgical care is gaining traction, this specific approach to coordinating perioperative care for kidney tumors is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in previous studies.
