Description

Summary

For adults >65 years and their providers, we will test the usability and design of a tool to replace standard uniform reporting of lab results to patients and their providers with a new personalized EHR lab result communication tool that: 1) extracts patient-level data from the EHR; 2) calculates individual risk; and 3) for patients with very low risk, communicates the individualized risk information. We will employ a range of user experience research methods to understand how patient and provider users interact with the new lab result communication tool and to assess their comprehension of the lab results.

Open to people ages 65 years and up

Patient Inclusion Criteria: Older adults (aged >65 years) with a UCLA primary care provider who are:

  • Enrolled in the patient portal;
  • English-speaking (as the language of the tool is currently only in English, and it would be impractical to have validated translations created for all of the potential variations and derivatives of the tool mock-ups); and
  • Without dementia or other neurocognitive disease.

Provider Inclusion Criteria:

-UCLA Health providers who care for large numbers of older adults in outpatient settings.

You CAN'T join if...

Patient Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have lab results outside of the defined inclusion ranges;
  • Do not have a UCLA PCP;
  • Are under the age of 65;
  • Are not English speaking (as the tool prototypes are only in English until final verbiage is determined);
  • Are not enrolled in the UCLA MyChart patient portal; or
  • Are diagnosed with dementia
