Elevate Remote CF Care

Hypothesis: The development of patient-focused tools and care processes will enable a transition from predominantly office-based CF care to a more convenient, co-produced model. The increased utilization of remote care will be associated with improved adherence to disease monitoring and complication screening guidelines and will increase patient satisfaction. Specific Aims: 1. Customize a patient-facing smartphone application (Nudge) designed to "coach" each patient toward a co-produced goal of convenient and effective health monitoring within the context of enhanced remote care. 2. Develop care processes that facilitate monitoring of respiratory status at home, using home spirometry and remote sputum collection, that include education, electronic reminders, and specimen collection/shipping supplies 3. Implement care processes that allow convenient access to necessary screening procedures, using the Nudge application to provide well-timed electronic reminders and track performance of screening tests.

Exploring strategies to better equip primary care physicians to address nutrition with patients

We are exploring what primary care physicians feel is important for them to know about nutrition given their clinical experience, how they would have liked to learn nutrition during their medical training, and desired ways to support them in providing nutrition care in their current practice. We are also evaluating a tool that may make nutrition counseling easier and more efficient for providers. The results of the study can potentially lead to improvements in nutrition training in medicine and quality of nutrition care.
