What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment involving Clinician Coaching Sessions and Personalized text messages to patients?
Research shows that personalized text messages can effectively encourage behavior change, especially when they are tailored to the individual's preferences and daily activities. Additionally, patient-clinician communication, such as through secure electronic messaging, can improve patient outcomes by enhancing information retention and providing opportunities for patient-centered communication.12345
How is the treatment of Clinician Coaching Sessions and Personalized text messages to patients unique?
This treatment is unique because it combines personalized communication through clinician coaching and tailored text messages to enhance patient engagement and health outcomes. Unlike traditional treatments, it leverages technology to provide customized health information and support, potentially improving patient-provider communication and empowering patients to make informed health decisions.26789
What is the purpose of this trial?
Expanded availability of virtual care encounters in Primary Care provides new opportunities to improve Veterans' outcomes by aligning encounter modalities with their needs and preferences. Yet, Veterans and their Primary Care physicians (PCPs) lack personalized information about the benefits and costs of different Primary Care modalities that is needed to maximize the value of Primary Care encounters. To address this problem, in this study the investigators will use surveys and interviews to identify what Veterans and PCPs perceive to be the benefits and optimal uses of different Primary Care encounter modalities. They will then supplement their existing system for communicating encounter costs to Veterans and PCPs with new interactive messaging about benefits and optimal uses of different encounter modalities. Finally, this novel Advancing Decisions about Virtual Service Encounters (ADViSE) intervention will be optimized through user-centered refinement before evaluating its effects on Veteran-centered outcomes, use of virtual care, and intermediate health outcomes in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
