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.
