Functional Assessment Screening Tablets - Patient Reported Measures

January 13, 2016 updated by: Rachel Hess, University of Pittsburgh

Functional Assessment Screening Tablets - Patient Reported Measures Translating Research Into Practice Pilot

The team's ultimate goal is to improve health care quality and effectiveness and support patient-centered care. In this project, we, the investigators, will test whether providing patients with guideline based-recommendations regarding tobacco use, physical activity and mental and physical health-related quality of life (patient reported measures: PRMs) using health information technology increases doctor-patient discussions regarding these topics and results in improvements in PRMs. We will randomize physicians in a single general internal medicine practice. Patients seeing intervention physicians will receive guideline-based recommendations regarding PRMs, those seeing control physicians will not. We will compare differences in doctor-patient discussions regarding PRMs between the intervention and control groups. The successful completion of this project will provide evidence the effectiveness of involving patients in their care through the use guideline-based feedback.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Feedback form
patients receive feedback regarding their prms in addition to doctor receiving report
Other: Patient feedback form
patients receive a report that feeds back their patient reported measures to them prior to their clinical visit
No Intervention: usual care
patients do not receive feedback form prior to the encounter, clinicians continue to receive patient reported measures prior to the appointment
