Description

Summary

For adults >65 years and their providers, the investigators 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. The investigators 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.

  • 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...
