Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are disease-modifying agents indicated for heart failure (HF) that can augment diuresis and treat hypokalemia but underutilized. Prescribing MRAs instead of potassium supplements to in the setting HF could increase use MRAs. A best practice alert (BPA) electronic medical record suggests ordering an MRA supplementation a patient with facilitate this. This study sought examine perspectives primary care physicians on utilization BPA usefulness...
Abstract Background Adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroid medication is important for asthma control but low health literacy a barrier comprehension of status and may contribute nonadherence. Infographics tailored with patients' own data can support status, these have not been applied successfully. Objectives This two-phased study developed tested infographics (1) scores on the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), self-report measure symptom burden, (2) pulmonary function test (PFT)...
Background Physician underprescribing and patient nonadherence are major barriers to the benefits of guideline‐directed medical therapy. An important contributor both is concern about medication‐related side effects. Yet, there few no data on approaches used by physicians to: (1) elicit effects, (2) attribute these effects specific medications, (3) take appropriate action. Methods Results The authors conducted semistructured interviews with identify facilitators each critical step heart...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest public research funder in world. In an effort to make publicly funded data more accessible, NIH established a new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy effective January 2023. Though policy was available for comment, patient perspective potential unintended consequences on patients' willingness participate have been underexplored. This study aimed determine: (1) participant preferences about types they are willing share with external...
Health care systems are primarily collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for research and clinical using proprietary, institution- disease-specific tools remote assessment. The purpose of this study was to conduct a Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) evaluation scalable electronic PRO (ePRO) reporting visualization system in single-arm study.
Abstract Objective Participation in healthcare research shapes health policy and practice; however, low trust is a barrier to participation. We evaluated whether returning information (information transparency) disclosing intent of data use (intent impacts research. Materials Methods conducted an online survey with representative sample 502 US adults. assessed baseline change using 6 cases representing the Social-Ecological Model. descriptive statistics associations between sociodemographic...
ObjectivesThe role of home healthcare (HHC) services in providing care to vulnerable, often frail individuals with chronic conditions is critical. Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) HHC essential keeping both workers patients safe, especially the event an emerging infectious disease outbreak. Prior coronavirus 2019 pandemic, we explored successes challenges IPC from perspectives staff.DesignQualitative descriptive study.Setting ParticipantsFrom May November 2018, conducted...
As a first step in developing decision aid to support shared decision-making (SDM) for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) evaluate treatment options rhythm and symptom control, we aimed measure quality describe processes among clinicians involved around catheter ablation AF.
Information visualizations are an increasingly popular approach to conveying information in a way that eases comprehension. However, rigorous methods for comprehension testing needed evaluation purposes. The International Organization Standardization (ISO) 9186 method is the recognized standard assessing comprehensibility of wayfinding and warning symbols but requires modification maximize its utility complex, health-related low-literacy respondents. In this paper we present two case studies...
Abstract Information visualizations are increasingly being developed by informatics researchers to communicate health information lay audiences. For high-quality results, it is advisable collaborate with creative professionals such as graphic designers, illustrators, or user interface/user experience designers. However, collaborations often a novel for both parties, each of which may be unfamiliar the needs and processes other. We have coalesced our experiences from research design...
Introduction: Shared decision-making (SDM) can support patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to evaluate treatment options for rhythm and symptom control, but studies suggest it is not occurring meaningfully in routine practice. The objective of this study was measure decision quality describe processes among clinicians involved around catheter ablation AF. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, mixed-methods guided by SDM model outlining antecedents, processes, outcomes. Patients...
<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> Participatory design is an increasingly common informatics method to engage target audiences in the development of health-related resources. particularly helpful for developing information visualizations that aim improve health outcomes by means improved comprehension, communication and/or engagement, and subsequent behavior changes.

Abstract Background N-of-1 trials have emerged as a personalized approach to patient-centered care, where patients can compare evidence-based treatments using their own data. However, little is known about optimal methods present individual-level data from medication-related promote decision-making. Objectives We conducted qualitative interviews with heart failure preserved ejection fraction undergoing iterate, refine, and optimize patient-facing visualization tool for displaying the results...
Abstract Participatory design is an increasingly common informatics method to engage intended audiences in the development of health-related resources. particularly helpful for developing information visualizations that aim improve health outcomes by means improved comprehension, communication or engagement, and subsequent behavior changes. Existing literature on participatory lacks practical details influence success does not address emergent issues, such as strategies enhance...
Abstract Aims In the face of growing expectations for data transparency and patient engagement in care, we evaluated preferences patient-reported outcome (PRO) access sharing among patients with heart failure (HF) using an ethical framework. Methods results We conducted qualitative interviews a purposive sample HF who participated larger 8-week study that involved collection return PROs web-based interface. Guided by framework, were asked questions about their having PRO returned to them...
Abstract Objectives Implicit bias perpetuates health care inequities and manifests in patient–provider interactions, particularly nonverbal social cues like dominance. We investigated the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for automated communication assessment feedback during primary visits to raise clinician awareness patient interactions. Materials Methods (1) Assessed technical performance our AI models by building a machine-learning pipeline that automatically detects signals...
