DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to advance Dr. Kuang-Yi Wen's long-term goal of developing an independent research program to develop, evaluate and disseminate quality improvement initiatives that are designed for the promotion of patient-center care within ambulatory settings and based on use of health information and communication technology. Dr. Wen is a Health Systems Engineer with postdoctoral training in psychosocial medicine and medical informatics. The K01 award will allow her to achieve her goal through a 5-year career development program that includes didactic training and mentored research. Her interdisciplinary training plan, consisting of coursework across the fields of health services research with a focus on conduct and design of randomized controlled trials, medical informatics applied to clinical research, and human factors/usability engineering, will greatly strengthen and augment her grounding in these areas. She has assembled a mentorship and consulting team that spans these specialties which will guide her during her training and in the application of these disciplines to her research. The combination of mentoring and structured coursework will equip Dr. Wen with the knowledge and skills necessary for her development as an independent researcher in the area of utilizing and integrating patient-centered information technology into clinical settings. While expanding and enriching her prior research experience in Interactive Health Communication Systems, the proposed projects will also extend Dr. Wen's research into a new dimension, the application of patient accessible electronic medical records (PAMR). Patient use of online electronic medical records holds the potential to make incremental improvements in health outcomes. Educational materials that are made available within PAMR will not only help patients understand their clinical data, but also support them through use of integrated behavioral and health communication strategies in a comprehensive format that contributes to optimum care. Breast cancer, the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women, accounts for 29% of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States. A diagnosis of breast cancer often evokes fear and distress. Studies show that breast cancer patients report that their providers often fail to understand their psychosocial and communication needs, and their need for information and skills to manage their illness and deal with the major life changes and potential emotional problems that often accompany it. To bridge the divide between patients and the healthcare system, the primary objective of the proposed research is to integrate within a patient portal called "MyHealthPortal," personal information from an electronic medical record with educational and support content about breast cancer treatment decision making and care management. Guided by the Cognitive-Social Health Information Processing Model, health communication best practices, and human factors and usability engineering principles, the research aims are: 1) develop a patient-centered web-based portal (MyHealthPortal) for breast cancer patients undergoing treatment in a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Users will be provided with tools that are integrated with their personal medical records to learn about their diagnosis, treatment, and to manage their care through resources such as: health information, decisional and emotional support, and clinical communication capability and 2) to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial study to assess the feasibility and potential impact of the MyHealthPortal system with early-stage breast cancer patients. Using an iterative developmental process, aim 1 will be accomplished through four phases of the research plan to ensure a user-centered design and the acceptance of the portal among both the targeted audience and health care providers. Phase 1 includes survey research to assess our existing institutional portal users' satisfaction with the current portal and identify features in need of improvement. Phase 2 consists of a qualitative study to identify breast cancer patients' information needs and preference for a PAMR-integrated portal. Phase 3 includes a qualitative study to explore breast cancer clinicians' attitudes and expectations regarding the implementation of a patient portal which integrates shared medical records and e-communication capability that will impact on doctor-patient relationship. Phase 4 includes both cognitive user and usability testing for system refinement to maximize MyHealthPortal's usefulness and patient satisfaction. The Aim 2 study will evaluate the feasibility of the portal system in a pilot randomized controlled trial study with 120 breast cancer patients (n = 60 per control/intervention group) to examine the impact of the MyHealthPortal system on patient outcomes including: cancer-related distress, information competence, coping self-efficacy, physical quality of life, and doctor-patient communication. Satisfaction and usage with the MyHealthPortal system will also be evaluated among the intervention participants. The findings of the proposed research will provide preliminary data to support a R01 proposal that will examine the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the MyHealthPortal system in a larger study. The findings of this research and the developmental process that it will employ will not only be applicable to the breast cancer population, but could also serve as a model for PAMR-integrated system development and implementation among other cancer populations. This award will provide Dr. Wen with substantial experience conducting rigorous health care system quality improvement research through the utilization of health information technology and facilitate her development of advanced interdisciplinary skills.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是推进温光义博士开发独立研究项目的长期目标，以开发、评估和传播旨在促进患者中心的质量改进举措在流动环境中并基于健康信息和通信技术的使用提供护理。 Wen 博士是一名健康系统工程师，接受过心理社会医学和医学信息学方面的博士后培训。 K01 奖将使她能够通过为期 5 年的职业发展计划（包括教学培训和指导研究）实现自己的目标。她的跨学科培训计划包括卫生服务研究领域的课程，重点是随机对照试验的实施和设计、应用于临床研究的医学信息学以及人为因素/可用性工程，将极大地加强和增强她在这些方面的基础。地区。她组建了一个涵盖这些专业的指导和咨询团队，这将在她的培训期间以及将这些学科应用到她的研究中为她提供指导。指导和结构化课程的结合将使温博士具备发展为独立研究人员所需的知识和技能，以利用以患者为中心的信息技术并将其整合到临床环境中。在扩展和丰富她之前在交互式健康通信系统方面的研究经验的同时，拟议的项目还将温博士的研究扩展到一个新的维度，即患者可访问电子病历（PAMR）的应用。患者使用在线电子病历有可能逐步改善健康结果。 PAMR 中提供的教育材料不仅可以帮助患者了解其临床数据，还可以通过使用综合格式的综合行为和健康沟通策略来支持他们，从而实现最佳护理。乳腺癌是女性最常见的癌症，也是女性癌症死亡的第二大原因，占美国所有新诊断癌症的 29%。乳腺癌的诊断常常会引起恐惧和痛苦。研究表明，乳腺癌患者报告说，他们的医疗服务提供者常常无法理解他们的社会心理和沟通需求，以及他们对信息和技能的需求，以管理他们的疾病并处理重大的生活变化和随之而来的潜在情绪问题。为了弥合患者和医疗保健系统之间的鸿沟，拟议研究的主要目标是将电子病历中的个人信息与有关乳腺癌治疗决策和护理的教育和支持内容集成到名为“MyHealthPortal”的患者门户中管理。在认知社会健康信息处理模型、健康沟通最佳实践以及人为因素和可用性工程原理的指导下，研究目标是：1）为正在接受治疗的乳腺癌患者开发一个以患者为中心的基于网络的门户网站（MyHealthPortal）综合癌症中心。用户将获得与个人医疗记录集成的工具，以了解他们的诊断、治疗并通过以下资源管理他们的护理：健康信息、决策和情感支持以及临床沟通能力，2) 进行试点随机对照试验研究，旨在评估 MyHealthPortal 系统对早期乳腺癌患者的可行性和潜在影响。使用迭代开发过程，目标 1 将通过研究计划的四个阶段来实现，以确保以用户为中心的设计以及目标受众和医疗保健提供者对门户的接受。第一阶段包括调查研究，以评估我们现有的机构门户用户对当前门户的满意度，并确定需要改进的功能。第二阶段包括一项定性研究，旨在确定乳腺癌患者的信息需求和对 PAMR 集成门户的偏好。第三阶段包括一项定性研究，旨在探讨乳腺癌临床医生对实施患者门户的态度和期望，该门户整合了共享医疗记录和电子通信功能，这将影响医患关系。第 4 阶段包括认知用户和可用性测试，以优化系统，以最大限度地提高 MyHealthPortal 的实用性和患者满意度。 Aim 2 研究将在一项针对 120 名乳腺癌患者（每个对照组/干预组 n = 60 名）的试点随机对照试验研究中评估门户系统的可行性，以检查 MyHealthPortal 系统对患者结果的影响，包括：痛苦、信息能力、应对自我效能、身体生活质量和医患沟通。还将评估干预参与者对 MyHealthPortal 系统的满意度和使用情况。拟议研究的结果将为支持 R01 提案提供初步数据，该提案将在更大规模的研究中检验 MyHealthPortal 系统的功效和成本效益。这项研究的结果及其将采用的开发过程不仅适用于乳腺癌人群，还可以作为 PAMR 集成系统开发和在其他癌症人群中实施的模型。该奖项将为温博士提供丰富的经验，通过利用卫生信息技术进行严格的医疗保健系统质量改进研究，并促进她发展先进的跨学科技能。
