Preliminary Testing of the Discussion of Patient Life Goals Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Dialysis Facilities
Preliminary analyses indicate the D-PaLS has excellent psychometric properties. The measure provides 2 important quality metrics: facilities' level of engagement talking with patients about their life goals and the percentage of patients reporting who on the treatment team talks with them about their life goals. Additional work is needed to establish comprehensive reliability and validity to support the clinical utility of this measure in patient care.
