Baxter unveils updates to remote patient management platform

Baxter International Inc., has unveiled 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 that helps healthcare providers to 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. 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. 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. Sharesource is featured on Baxter’s latest APD cyclers, AMIA in the United States and Canada, Kaguya in Japan, and Homechoice Claria in more than 25 countries globally.
