Phosphorus Mission Educational Tool - Partnership between EDTNA/ERCA and Sanofi
Phosphorus Mission Educational Tool is a software package developed by Sanofi for use by dialysis nurses to educate their patients on how to maintain healthy phosphorus levels.
The patients themselves will also have the option of downloading Phosphorus Mission Educational Tool onto their computers or their mobile telephones outside of a clinic setting.
EDTNA/ERCA validated and accredited this educational tool.
2. Disclosure
Frédérique Quinio has received funding from Sanofi to attend and speak at this educational
symposium. This is the first time funding has been received from Sanofi.
3. Agenda
• Compliance and therapeutic education
• Phosphorus Mission
• Phosphorus Mission demonstration
• Feedback on independent EDTNA validation
4. Chronic Disease & Treatment Compliance
The WHO defines compliance with treatment as « the
concordance between the behaviour of a person (use of
prescribed drugs, diet and changes of behaviour) and the
recommandations of caregivers »

5. Determinants For Non Compliance
• Socio-demographic factors (age, gender, socio-economic &
professional background, family situation, personality and
psychological state of the patient)
• Belief system (religion, representation of the disease, the
treatment, the role of caregivers)
• Pathology (intensity of symptoms, duration, severity, prognosis)
• Treatment regimen (number of pills, side effects, daily frequency,
drug form, treatment understanding)

6. Therapeutic Education: Strengthening
Treatment Compliance
• The WHO defines therapeutic education as « all the actions
done to help patients to improve, maintain the skills /
competences they need to manage their lives with a chronic
disease »
• Goals
- allow patients and their environment to better understand the pathology
and the treatments
- co-operate with caregivers
- introduce patient empowerment into their lives to better manage their
disease
- help patients to maintain and improve their quality of life

7. Therapeutic Education: 4 Stages
• Personalised educational diagnosis
• Definition of a personalised education program - identifying
short and long term learning priorities
• Planning and implementing individual sessions and collective
workshops
• Evaluation of learned skills and program flow

8. Personalised Diagnosis
• Allows the educational team to be aware of the patient’s five
dimensions (bioclinical, cognitive, socio-professional, psychoaffective
and projective)
• Gives healthgivers elements to understand the reality of living with a
chronic disease
– problems experienced
– Prioritized and identified by the patient
– adaptive strategies already developed
– representation of the disease, the treatment and the relation between caregivers
and the patient)
• Strengthens the therapeutic alliance between the patient and the
multi-disciplinary care giver team

9. Personalised Program
• Joint definition and priorization of learning priorities
• Joint definition of educational goals so to ensure common
aims between patient and health care team
• Establish an « education contract » between patient and
educational team

10. The Journey In Therapeutic Education
• Presentation of existing programs (themes, frequency,
individual and group modalities, resources, learning tools and
professionals involved in the process)
• Organisation of the patient’s own program (planning
individual and group sessions)
• Assessing procedures for mid and final term evaluations

11. Assessment And Re-adjustment
• Provided while designing the program
• Occurs during program at different defined stages
– allows a readjustment of already learned skills
– an adaptation to the patient’s learning speed
– consolidation and valorisation of the changes seen during the program
• Necessary for both patient and educational team
• Final evaluation is undertaken at end of patient involvement
in program

12. What About CKD ?
• Main concerns for both health carers and patients
- Disease understanding
- Understanding dialysis - what is happening during procedure?
- Understanding importance of healthy diet ,
- Informing and communicating with the family (support of family crucial
to help patient cope with CKD diet restrictions)
- Treatment understanding (potassium, phosphate binders, etc.
rationale for use and compliance)
- Liquid restrictions

13. Goals For The Future Of CKD Patients’
Support Teams
• Bring knowledge with attractive, interactive, useful and easy
to use methods
• Promote life style changes according to patient’s reality and
needs
• Encourage sharing of patient experience between key
stakeholders (expert patient, support groups, alternative
educational methods, etc.)
• Empower patient and their environment to help them cope
with disease
14. Phosphorus Mission
• Phosphorus Mission is a mobile application designed and
developed by Sanofi for people with advanced chronic kidney
disease (CKD)
• Phosphorus Mission helps patients better understand their
disease, treatment options and dietary choices related to their
health
• Phosphorus Mission enables patients to better assimilate
essential information on CKD and understand the impact of food
choices and the role of prescribed treatments
15. CONNECTING NURSES | 15
The Information Shareapy Community gives access to
practice tips and best practice information gleaned
by nurses and KOL nursing organizations. By
uploading and sharing links on the platform, every
single nurse can make patient support tools and
materials available to their peers and patients.
Nurses can share their education, practice and
research projects on Care Challenge and discover
their colleagues innovations worldwide : they get
immediate visibility and recognition
• Connecting Nurses is a worldwide recognition program for nurses supported by
sanofi, built in partnership with nursing organizations as
International Council of Nurses and EDTNA
• Discover both web platforms through the www.connecting-nurses.com portal and post
your project in Renal Care NOW : your project might be championed in May 2015
