The Proactive Path’s patient engagement for advanced learning was designed to offer patients empowered hope for a better tomorrow. Within this enlightening atmosphere, the average Chronic Disease Patient (CKD) patient who once felt lost or disheartened can now gain incentive to transform into a fully-engaged patient on a mission to live their best life possible.
Inside this proactive learning space, patients are encouraged to make smart choices that can lead to superior outcomes. We do this by blending evidence-based fact into forward-thinking behaviors and strategies. And we don’t stop there. Our goal is to reveal seldom discussed benefits and best practices for circumventing dialysis by helping patients understand and execute a proactive search for living kidney donors.
Timing Is Key
Timing is everything and that’s why The Proactive Path encourages patients to engage in earlier stages of their disease continuum. Our goal is to give all kidney patients their best shot at a better life. Life without the need for dialysis.
The Proactive Path believes that early detection is as important as early reflection. We also believe that all CKD patients deserve the right to know all their options—regardless of presumed eligibility. What may not be doable today might be possible at another time. When patients are unaware of superior options, they’ll never fight for a better life when superior opportunities present themselves.
The Hidden Caveat
Our research shows that good information is often kept from those who appear to be unable to use it. To make matters worse, it is often kept from kidney disease patients who could have used it, but didn’t receive it in time to take advantage of it. By the time patients are discovering these hidden facts, it’s often too late to optimize best practices due to advanced illness and time on dialysis.
How is a lack of insight and encouragement impacting your future? When information is withheld, opportunities are withheld. Information and guidance empowers patients to feel fully engaged and “in the know.” This is not to say that you the information might reveal that you might not be a transplant candidate, and that that information might be daunted, or perhaps even crushed you—yet, it's your right to know all the facts.
Who’s to say you won’t be motivated to strive to improve you chances of gaining transplant candidacy by the time of need, or at a later date? The fact is, you'll never be able to shoot for the moon if this window of opportunity remains hidden behind closed doors.
