Summary
This study tested a program to improve conversations between older adults (65+) with advanced kidney disease and their kidney doctors about whether to start dialysis. The program trained doctors in communication skills and coached patients to share their values and ask key questions. The goal was to see if the program was practical and acceptable, not to change treatment outcomes.
