What this Trial Is About
To achieve the goal of reaching consensus about the preferred treatment option that best aligns with the goals and values of patients, the investigators developed a 'CKD Jumpstart- Tips" priming tool tailored for older adults with advanced CKD that is based on communication principles from VitalTalk and Elwyn's goal-based SDM model. The investigators hypothesize that compared with patients in the usual care group, patients in the 'CKD Jumpstart- Tips' intervention group will have: 1. increased level of shared decision-making (observer-based and patient-reported), 2. improved quality of communication, 3. increased patient involvement in decision-making, 4. lower decisional conflict, 5. lower decision regret, 6. decreased time to decision, 7. improved adherence to treatment choice, and 8. improved health-related quality-of-life.
