Patient Information Seeking • 2000 46% online access 25% looked for health information • 2010 74% online access 61% looked for health information
Information Sources Consulted by Patients Health Record Information Practitioner Guidelines Online Forums Consumer Health Sources
Health Literacy • Ability to read and apply health information to an individual’s health • Professional terminology versus patient language • Need to create an “interpretative layer”
Patient Portal Personalized lists of appointment, medications and procedures
Personal Health Records vs. Portals • Traditionally: • Portals –tend to owned by institution, contain institutionally produced content. • PHRs- do not belong to an institution, owned by the patient. Can include information from multiple institutions. • However, these distinctions are beginning to disappear.
Patient Information Sources: Generalizable What are the symptoms of lung cancer? — Common symptoms of lung cancer can include: Cough Trouble breathing, or wheezing Spitting or coughing up blood Chest pain that can be dull, sharp, or stabbing Hoarse voice Headache and swelling of the face, arms, or neck http://www.uptodate.com/contents/lung-cancer-the-basics?source=see_link
Patient Information Sources: Lack of Reconciliation Coughing up bloodis one of the common respiratory tract symptoms. Respiratory tract bleeding is the direct cause for coughing up blood. However, behind the coughing up blood, usually a respiratory disease, or pulmonary blood circulation disease is present. Some diseases that lead to a coughing up blood, are harmless and can be completely cured, while some are life-threatening. The coughing up blood can occur in any population, and the incidence of coughing up blood is on the rise with the age for most people.
Practitioner Guidelines: High Level Language Historically, most patients with lung cancer presented with symptoms of the disease, including : cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, pain, weight loss, and cachexia.
Practitioner Guidelines: Varying Levels of Certainty The source of massive hemoptysismay be identified during the initial efforts to control the bleeding. If it is not, then a dedicated diagnostic evaluation is necessary. The timing of the diagnostic evaluation depends upon the course of the hemoptysis: If the hemoptysisis brisk despite initial measures to control the bleeding, then initial diagnostic efforts must begin in concert with ongoing efforts to stabilize the patient and control the bleeding. If the hemoptysisis intermittent or slowing following initial measures to control the bleeding, then the diagnostic evaluation begins after the patient has stabilized. http://www.uptodate.com/contents/overview-of-massive-hemoptysis

Model Concept Type : Symptom MedlinePlus Coughing up blood can be caused by a variety of lung conditions. Coughing up blood can take different forms: The blood may be bright red or pink and frothy, or it may be mixed with mucus. Definition Consumer Information Concept Coughing Up Blood Treatment Practitioner Information UpToDate If the hemoptysis is brisk despite initial measures to control the bleeding, then initial diagnostic efforts must begin in concert with ongoing efforts to stabilize the patient and control the bleeding.
Model Concept Type : Procedure MedlinePlus A bronchoscopy is a special technique for looking inside the airways. During a bronchoscopy, the doctor uses a bronchoscope, a long thing flexible fiber optic tube that transmits video and can also take tissue samples. Definition and What to Expect Consumer Information Concept Bronchoscopy MedlinePlus The scope is passed through your mouth or nose, through your windpipe (trachea), and then into your lungs. Going through the nose is a good way to look at the upper airways. The mouth method allows the doctor to use a larger bronchoscope. UpToDate We perform bronchoscopy early in a patient’s course. Practically speaking, we aim to perform bronchoscopy within the first 12 to 18 hours if the patient is clinically stable and their bleeding has become quiescent.

Chest X-rays can also reveal fluid in your lungs or in the spaces surrounding your lungs, enlargement of your heart, pneumonia, emphysema, cancer and many other conditions. Some people have a series of chest X-rays done over time, to track whether a particular health problem is getting better or worse.

The previously noted left infrahilar mass and multiple parenchymal nodular lesions essentially unchanged. No interval acute airspace opacification, pleural effusion or clinically significant pneumothorax is noted. A pneumothorax is a collapsed lung.
Limitations • Only 41 patients surveyed • Supplying supporting information does not guarantee understanding • Model designed for lung cancer screening only • Yet to conduct usability testing
Further Research: Imaging • I would like to see my radiology images (e.g., x-ray, MRI, CT). • How to best incorporate images?
