In my experience when new tool ideas like this are presented, providers often think about the worst patient who&#8217;s walked in their doors. That&#8217;s understandable, but it&#8217;s not the best way to see what&#8217;s\u00a0<em>possible<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>That resonates with OpenNotes, which we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.e-patients.net\/?s=opennotes\" target=\"_blank\">often written about<\/a> here. That study showed that providers&#8217; fears (about patients being unable to handle the information, and not even\u00a0<em>wanting\u00a0<\/em>it) were just plain off base. Understandable, but not supported by the evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At a deeper level, that disconnect shows me that medicine needs to find a deeper conceptual framework for understanding shortfalls in what the system should be achieving. If we view medicine as being &#8220;all about the brilliance&#8221; &#8211; the skills clinicians learned in school and honed in practice &#8211; we&#8217;ll interpret any shortfall as meaning &#8220;Not enough brilliance&#8221; or &#8220;they didn&#8217;t listen to me &#8211; what am I supposed to do??&#8221; Those skills and brilliance are indeed great (they saved my life) &#8211; but in that paradigm, this study&#8217;s results are hard to explain.<\/p>\n<p>But if we broaden the scope to say that effective practice also means\u00a0<em>both parties need access to the plan<\/em>, in order to do their part, then this study makes perfect sense. Surprise: even with triple-threat challenging patients, a PHR can produce a significant improvement.<\/p>\n<p>As a computer geek, I look at this and think &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that wonderful?? My lovely information machines, improving the human condition!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Go review the results again, above.<\/p>\n<h2>The challenges of navigating culturally tricky studies<\/h2>\n<p>Both this study and OpenNotes had to be carefully designed, partly because they&#8217;re paradigm-busting explorations, and paradigm-busters attract lots of scrutiny. If the study&#8217;s not solid, it&#8217;ll be picked to pieces by skeptics. Here&#8217;s to those with the brains and audacity to carry out a study like this.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I can&#8217;t wait to see how\u00a0<em>all\u00a0<\/em>areas of medicine transform, when patients everywhere gain access to all their data, and when software developers produce hundreds of tools for different people to meet their different needs. As the study shows, <strong>even significantly challenged patients can benefit when we make it easier to stick to the plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long-time readers will recall a hallway conversation I had at a conference in 2011 with Silke von Esenwein PhD of Emory University&#8217;s Center for Behavioral Health Policy Studies, who was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[21,367,5,4986,59,3586,2],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-15997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-e-ptsresources","category-medical-records","category-ptdoc-co-care","category-pm-tech","category-policy-issues","category-research-issues","category-trendsprinciples"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Emory study: &quot;PHR resulted in significantly improved quality of care and use of services&quot;
