Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Education
  • Managed Care

Background:

  • Patient health informatics tools can empower individuals with knowledge about their health conditions.
  • Managed care organizations (MCOs) play a role in disseminating health information to their members.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perceived impact of a patient health informatics tool on MCO members.
  • To evaluate the tool's effect on patient knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • A post-test only design was used with an intervention group.
  • Participants were MCO members who received patient education videos.
  • Telephone interviews with a structured protocol assessed outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants reported improved understanding of their condition and treatment options.
  • Videos positively influenced patient attitudes and behaviors related to their health.
  • MCO involvement in video distribution was endorsed, with minimal adverse effects.

Conclusions:

  • Health informatics tools show preliminary positive effects on patient attitudes, communication, and satisfaction.
  • Distribution of these tools should extend beyond newly diagnosed patients to include those with chronic conditions.
