CAPTURED aims to get patients with rare and difficult to diagnose disease correctly diagnosed so that they can access the correct care and treatments that they need.
-
CAPTURED will use algorithm technology in combination with tailored quality improvement support to get at-risk patients specific diagnostic testing .
Outcomes of the CAPTURED trial:
The primary objective of CAPTURED is to demonstrate that the patient testing pathway works defined as:
-
To determine if algorithm technology and quality improvement support increases rates of diagnosis of rare or difficult to diagnose disease.
The secondary objectives of the trial are:
-
To determine if the algorithm technology and quality improvement support improves rates of diagnostic testing for patients at high probability of rare or difficult to diagnose disease.
-
To evaluate the efficacy of communication with patients regarding the quality improvement intervention.
-
To evaluate the rate of acceptance of the quality improvement intervention in the eligible patient population
The following exploratory objectives will be explored as part of the trial:
-
To evaluate if the algorithms identify suitable patients as high probability for rare or difficult to diagnose disease, who are deemed clinically appropriate for further testing by Medical professional judgement.
-
To evaluate the outcomes of the diagnostic testing with regard to alternative diagnosis being derived as a direct result of the quality improvement programmes.
