Personalized Information for Health Care Delivery
(ADViSE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The trial aims to enhance veterans' use of virtual care by providing them and their primary care doctors with better information about various types of medical appointments, such as virtual visits or phone calls. Surveys and interviews will gather veterans' and doctors' opinions on these appointment types. The study will also test personalized text messages to guide veterans in selecting the most suitable appointment type for their needs. Additionally, clinician coaching sessions will support healthcare providers. Veterans who have attended at least three primary care appointments in the past year and can receive text messages are ideal candidates for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers veterans the opportunity to help improve virtual care experiences for themselves and others.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What prior data suggests that this intervention is safe?
Research has shown that personalized text messages to patients are generally well-received. These messages securely share information and have been verified for safety. Studies suggest that with proper security measures, texting in healthcare is safe and effective. Although privacy concerns exist, following guidelines helps prevent issues, ensuring patients can receive these messages safely.
Specific safety data for clinician coaching sessions is not available. However, since coaching involves advice and guidance from healthcare providers, it is unlikely to pose significant safety risks. Overall, treatments in this study, such as secure text messaging and coaching, are considered safe based on current evidence.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores innovative ways to personalize patient care. Unlike standard treatments that often rely on generic approaches, this trial uses clinician coaching sessions and personalized text messages to engage patients directly. The personalized text messages are tailored from a curated library, providing timely support and information specific to each patient's needs. This approach aims to enhance patient outcomes by making the healthcare experience more interactive and responsive to individual preferences and conditions.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for improving virtual care encounters for Veterans?
Research has shown that personalized text messages, one of the interventions in this trial, can improve patient health. For example, one study found that patients who received personalized messages responded more often (82.5% compared to 55.3%) and took their medication more regularly (89.4% compared to 67.8%). Another study found that 98.2% of patients liked receiving text messages, indicating strong interest. These results suggest that personalized text messages can effectively keep patients engaged in their health care, potentially leading to better overall health.678910
