AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Health professions trainee feedback rarely includes the patient voice, despite patients being experts in their own experience. Research supports including the patient voice; however, literature on the value of in-practice patient feedback is lacking.
Activity: A form was designed and implemented for patients to evaluate dietetic interns teaching a group class. Interns were surveyed to provide feedback.
Results: Interns reported finding the feedback valuable and unique. The evaluations were felt to be credible.
Discussion: Results support engaging patients in feedback for dietetic interns. Research should address different contexts, competencies other than communication and professionalism, and the impact to patients.
Objective: Individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP), including Spanish-preferred patients, face healthcare challenges due to language barriers. Despite the potential of digital health technologies to improve access and outcomes, there is a "digital divide" with underutilization among vulnerable populations, including Spanish-speaking LEP individuals, highlighting a need for increased understanding and equitable digital health solutions.
Materials And Methods: A multi-mode, multi-language cross-sectional survey was built based on the Technology Acceptance Model and deployed from a multi-state healthcare practice.
Physical activity and sedentary behavior have significant prognostic importance in survivors of breast cancer. However, not much is known about physical activity and sedentary behavior in the midwestern United States for patients who have breast cancer. This study provides patient-reported physical activity and sedentary behavior from a cohort of patients from the midwestern United States.
Internet of Things (IoT) is changing patient engagement in healthcare by shifting from traditional care models to a continuous, technology-driven approach using IoT-based Remote Monitoring Systems (IoT-RMS). This research seeks to redefine patient engagement by examining how Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can impact healthcare management and patient-provider interactions at different phases. Additionally, it presents the relationship between patient engagement stages and IoT-RMS, which promotes patients' active participation using technological health management tools.
Background And Purpose: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. The integration of telepharmacy has the potential to enhance patient care by providing flexible and personalized pharmaceutical follow-up. This study (TELEPROM Psoriasis) evaluates a telepharmacy model for evaluating electronic Patient-Reported outcomes (ePROMs) for individuals with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in Spain with biological treatment.
Purpose: Pre-operative eating disorders are well documented within the metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) population, yet subthreshold dieting attempts are less understood. The objectives of this study were to define and categorize patients' preoperative dieting attempts, and to determine how attempts are associated with postoperative outcomes, eating disorders, and demographics.
Materials And Methods: Three hundred twenty-one patients (81.
