The Impact of the Family Room App on Caregivers
Sponsor: University of Nebraska
Summary
Engaging families in patient care during serious illness can enhance care quality, reduce social isolation, boost satisfaction, and lower healthcare costs. However, active involvement of family caregivers remains limited because there are no evidence-based tools to guide clinicians on how to include them effectively. This study will test and refine previously developed point-of-care application, Family Room, and determine its effectiveness by comparison with a control group. A series of surveys will be used to evaluate caregiver well-being, engagement and satisfaction.

Interventions
Family Room Application
The Family Room application is a point of care tool that guides families on contributing to patient participant care by providing real time education, a sense of connection, emotional support, and resources that enable meaningful care giving. Importantly, family caregiver participants receive virtual training on comfort-focused care activities that can be done at the bedside, as well as a mechanism within the electronic health record (EHR) to measure and record the effectiveness of the care they provide.
