A Randomized Controlled Trial of Perioperative Education Via E-health Technology to Ensure High Quality Equitable Care: One-4-ALL Initiative

In brief

This randomized controlled trial evaluates web-based perioperative education for families of children undergoing gastrostomy tube placement, addressing variability in information delivery that contributes to care inequities. The study tests whether standardized e-health educational interventions can improve care quality and equity without compromising patient safety.

• Current perioperative education delivery is inconsistent, leading to inequitable care across patient populations.
• Web-based education platforms can standardize information delivery for families undergoing GT surgery.
• E-health technology implementation for perioperative education appears feasible and safe in surgical settings.
• Standardized digital education may reduce variability in family preparedness before pediatric procedures.
