Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data01:23

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Summary

Most patients view their test results online before discussing them with a healthcare provider (HCP). However, few patients can choose how results are communicated, impacting understanding and empowerment.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Engagement
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • The 21st Century Cures Act mandates immediate electronic release of test results.
  • Organizations have updated policies to comply with immediate electronic result release.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine how often patients view test results before provider communication.
  • To assess if patients can choose their preferred communication method.
  • To evaluate patient understanding of results viewed independently.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of the 2024 Health Information National Trends Survey data.
  • Included US adults (n=6045) who received test results via patient portal.
  • Examined viewing habits, communication preferences, and result comprehension.

Main Results:

  • 70% of patients viewed results in the portal; 58% viewed them before HCP contact.
  • Only 28% of patients could choose their communication preference.
  • High digital literacy and provider encouragement improved result understanding.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first national estimate of patient access to immediately released test results.
  • Most patients view results before discussion, but communication choice is limited.
  • Empowering patients with communication preferences can enhance engagement.
