Impact of Patients and Patient Advisors in Research Project on:
Research Methods
Design of PHR
Dialogue with Physicians
www.CPFCC.org
Project Aims
Incorporate PFCC into the ePHR Test the effectiveness of the ePHR
in hypertensive patients Measure the impact on system
adoption of PFCC
www.CPFCC.org
The Role That ePHR’s Can Play
Offer the opportunity for patient’s to accumulate and manage their own information, track goals, track progress toward goals, manage meds, coordinate care
Transparency and access to information important features — link to the clinical information system strengthens benefits

Outcome Measures
4 visits—every 3 months Biological measures
BP, BMI, waist circumference Fasting glucose, triglycerides, HDL, LCL
Patient empowerment measures Patient activation (PAM) Patient assessment of chronic illness care Consumer assessment of healthcare
providers and systems

Outcome Measures
Patient/Physician Collaboration Measures Audiotapes of 100 intervention and 100
control visits at initial and 3-month visit• Content of communication• Taxonomy of requests from patients
Patient Utilization Measures Self-reported utilization Electronic abstraction
Adherence to Practice Guidelines Chart review

National Sample QuotesHypertension Patient Panel
“And he talks to me differently because he knows I can click on something and I know about it.”
www.CPFCC.org
National Sample QuotesHypertension Patient Panel
“We don’t waste a lot of time on history, on how have you been, what have you done? It’s more we had goals and where are you at now with that? How’s this working out? I feel like my 15 minutes is fully packed. Whereas before 10 of it is spent trying to get where we needed to be.”
www.CPFCC.org
National Sample QuotesHypertension Patient Panel
“In the past, if my labs were off, my primary would call and say I needed to make an appointment…we need to talk. But now, I can see if I need to make a goal before I see him. It makes for a better more productive visit.”

Using Patient Advisors in Research
• Not as subjects, as advisors
• Different language, different values
• Especially when designing patient systems
• Patient perspectives are different than what clinicians, IT workers, or researchers think
• Clarity increases
