项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Institute for Family Health, which operates a diverse network of 16 federally-qualified health centers in New York State, proposes to continue its current collaboration with the Public Services Division of the National Library of Medicine and Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Informatics to create a Spanish-language version of MedlinePlus Connect. MedlinePlus Connect allows users of the Institute's electronic health record patient portal to link directly MedlinePlus consumer health information from within the portal records. There is clear evidence that Spanish-speaking patients in the U.S. experience barriers to care that contribute to health disparities evident among the Latino population. Spanish- speaking patients in the U.S. are among the last to benefit from advances in health information technology. As an organization committed to using health information technology to address health disparities, the Institute will, through this project: - Expand the MedlinePlus Connect initiative in order to link a Spanish version of its patient portal and relevant Spanish-language content in MedlinePlus. - Develop Spanish-language instructional tools and classes in order to optimize the accessibility and usefulness of the patient portal as an aid to Spanish-speaking patients in understanding and managing their health; and test these tools in partnership with community-based organizations. - Assess the effectiveness of the MyChart en Espanol and MedlinePlus Connect in Spanish links and learning tools through quantitative and qualitative analyses. The Institute's network serves a predominantly minority and low-income population of 92,000 patients, with special programs serving the homeless and those affected by HIV/AIDS. Approximately ten percent, or a total of 9,000, of the Institute's patients are solely or predominantly Spanish-speaking. With very few health care providers offering Spanish- language patient portals, the Institute is forging new ground in providing this tool to patients.

描述（由申请人提供）：家庭健康研究所在纽约州运营着一个由 16 个联邦合格健康中心组成的多元化网络，该研究所提议继续与国家医学图书馆公共服务部和哥伦比亚大学生物医学信息学系合作，创建一个MedlinePlus Connect 的西班牙语版本。 MedlinePlus Connect 允许研究所电子健康记录患者门户的用户直接链接门户记录中的 MedlinePlus 消费者健康信息。有明确证据表明，美国讲西班牙语的患者在获得护理方面遇到障碍，这导致拉丁裔人群中明显的健康差异。美国讲西班牙语的患者是最后受益于健康信息技术进步的患者之一。作为一个致力于利用卫生信息技术解决健康差距的组织，该研究所将通过该项目： - 扩大 MedlinePlus Connect 计划，以链接其西班牙语版本的患者门户和 MedlinePlus 中的相关西班牙语内容。 - 开发西班牙语教学工具和课程，以优化患者门户的可访问性和实用性，帮助西班牙语患者了解和管理自己的健康；并与社区组织合作测试这些工具。 - 通过定量和定性分析评估 MyChart en Espanol 和 MedlinePlus Connect 在西班牙语链接和学习工具中的有效性。该研究所的网络主要为少数族裔和低收入人群提供服务，共有 92,000 名患者，并设有为无家可归者和受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的人提供服务的特别计划。该研究所的患者中大约有 10%（即总共 9,000 名）仅或主要讲西班牙语。由于很少有医疗保健提供者提供西班牙语患者门户网站，因此该研究所正在为患者提供这一工具开辟新天地。
