More Information
Summary:Highlights • Renal PatientView (RPV) is a web-based application designed to promote self-management and education among patients with renal conditions. • Significant numbers of RPV account holders, who originally signed up for the service, no longer actively use the website. • In-active users are generally proficient in using computers; the majority have lost their login details, some through non-use. • Users currently utilise it mainly to view blood test results; sections such as those aimed at promoting self-management are not often used. • Patients still valued the availability of this service despite infrequent use.
