Overview

The study focuses on patients who require outpatient infusion of therapy ("Infusions, Intravenous"\[Mesh\]) "Administration, Intravenous"\[Mesh\] ("Home Infusion Therapy"\[Mesh\]) "Parenteral Nutrition, Home"\[Mesh\] via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) ("Central Venous Catheters"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Central Venous"\[MeSH\] "Catheterization, Peripheral" \[MeSH\] "Vascular Access Devices"\[Mesh\] )

Detailed description

The patients, who receive training ("Patient Education as Topic"\[Mesh\] "patient participation"\[MeSH Terms\] ) via an app on their personal mobile phone ("User-Computer Interface"\[Mesh\] "Smartphone"\[MeSH\] "Mobile Applications"\[MeSH\] "Computers, Handheld"\[Mesh\] "Digital Health"\[Mesh\] are able to perform specialized care ("Nursing"\[Mesh\]) Care"\[MeSH\] "Delivery of Health Care"\[Mesh:NoExp\] "Home Nursing"\[MeSH\] "Self Administration"\[Mesh\] to reduce complications ("adverse effects"\[MeSH Subheading\] "Catheter-Related Infections"\[Mesh\] ) so that they are monitored in real time by those responsible for the catheter.

Interventions

  • Other Digital Transformation of Continuity of Care for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters
    The application is offered to all patients at the time of PICC placement. If they accept, they go to the intervention group. If they do not accept, they go to the control group.

Primary outcome measures

  • 1. Patients who use computerized applications are more involved in their care and have fewer complications with the PICC [Time frame: At the end of intervention: Time from PICC placement to removal.]
