Utilizing Emerging Technologies to Promote more Efficient Face-to-face Patient – Clinician Communication Jelena Mirkovic
Issues - patients • Limitation of face-to-face communication (Munksgaardet al, J Headache Pain 2011) • Less personal hospital visits (Silverman and Kinnersley, Br J Gen Pract2010)
Issues - clinicians • Additional work (Boonstra, A. and Broekhuis, BMC Health Serv Res 2010; Park et al, Int J Med Inform 2012) • Learn how to use new technology • Additional data • More communication skills
CHIOICE system • Results (Ruland et al, JAMIA 2010; Heynet al, Psychooncology 2013) • Significantly more symptoms addressed • Symptom distress decreased • Patients more active participants • Patients understood better their condition and have more control • System usefulness
Connect system • Results from initial trial (Ruland et al, Cancer Nurs. 2013) • Less symptom of distress and depression • Better self-efficacy and health-related quality of life
