PAUSE App
Participants receiving the intervention will receive access to the PAUSE App, a self-management tool for SDMG intended for patients to use during an acute illness. The app asks users a series of questions regarding signs and symptoms that identify a qualifying sick day illness, and screens for 'red flags' that would require emergency, or HCP or urgent care referral, and help patients identify which of their medications they should temporarily withhold or adjusted, tailored to a patients' current medication list. This aims to provide patients with interactive support for managing medication during a sick day event. As part of the intervention, patients will also receive a SDMG patient handout. The intervention addresses the previously identified challenges described above via an interactive and individualized electronic application designed to facilitate provision of SDMG.
