New software tools to provide increased accessibility and added
efficiencies for healthcare providers

Data presented at congress also showing healthcare providers are

application of SHARESOURCE
COPENHAGEN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX), a global innovator in renal care,
announced the availability of two program updates for its SHARESOURCE
remote patient management platform to support greater accessibility and
efficiencies in remotely viewing patient data. SHARESOURCE – the only
globally available two-way, telehealth system that helps healthcare
providers manage home peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients – has now helped
manage more than 2 million treatments and is available in more than 30
countries with Baxter’s leading automated PD (APD) systems.
The announcement was made at the 55th Congress of the European Renal
Association and European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA),
May 24-27, where new data was presented on practice management and early
trends related to the use of SHARESOURCE to remotely manage patient care
by healthcare professionals.
“We designed SHARESOURCE to help transform and simplify home renal care,
so more patients can access and stay on PD longer with confidence and
fewer complications,” said Laura Angelini, general manager of Baxter’s
Renal Care business. “We are committed to both generating clinical
evidence to support the best real-world use of the platform, and to
making continual improvements to the platform to ensure optimum value
for healthcare providers and patients.”
SHARESOURCE extends healthcare providers’ reach by allowing visibility
to their home patients’ adherence patterns, which may allow for earlier
intervention. The telehealth platform is the only globally available
two-way technology that allows healthcare professionals to remotely
monitor and manage therapy from their clinic, which includes the ability
to change a patient’s prescription setting remotely.
Updates to the platform include the introduction of SHARESOURCE
ADEQUEST, a new kinetic modeling software tool that directly integrates
into the SHARESOURCE platform, offering increased accessibility and
added efficiencies for healthcare providers. With an improved method for
modeling regimens and an intuitive dashboard, nephrologists and nurses –
from any computer or tablet on a supported web browser – can review,
sort and store key patient data to:
-
Identify peritoneal membrane characteristics;
-
Calculate and predict key PD adequacy measures;
-
Create APD and continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) prescriptions that best
suit therapeutic goals and a patient’s lifestyle objectives.
SHARESOURCE’sclinical portal that healthcare professionals use
to remotely manage care also has been enhanced for use with Baxter’sHOMECHOICE
CLARIA APD system. The latest version provides ultrafiltration (UF) data
clarity and reporting efficiencies:
-
HCPs have more comprehensive insight into patients’ UF, including
initial drain UF and manual exchange UF, which are methodically
packaged to easily interpret results;
-
Reporting is more user-friendly and inclusive, with better organized,
pre-formatted reports available with one click of a button.
Baxter also supported several key data presentations on the value of
SHARESOURCE in real-world applications and the resulting practice
management trends evolving from its broad adoption and use around the
world. The remote patient management data presentation highlights
