- Interest in Individualized Preventive Care Recommendations. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment. ]
Measured by individualized preventive service recommendations, tailored to patient's specific medical conditions. Measured by surveys.
Survey question: "Overall, how helpful did you find the written materials (handouts)?" Ten point scale (minimum 1, maximum 10, higher score is better outcome)
- Interest in Individualized Preventive Care Recommendations. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment. ]
Measured by individualized preventive service recommendations, tailored to patient's specific medical conditions. Measured by surveys.
Survey question: "In the future, would you like to see updated written materials (handouts)?" Ten point scale (minimum 1, maximum 10, higher score is better outcome)
- Use of Shared Decision Making. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment. ]Measured by surveys. Survey metric: Shared Decision Making (SDM)-Q-9 validated scale, converted to 100 point denominator 100 point scale (minimum 1, maximum 100, higher score is better outcome)
- Patient Readiness to Change Health Behaviors. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment. ]Measured by surveys. Proportion of top-3 individualized preventive service recommendations ready to change over next 1 month Numerator: Number of top-3-ranked recommendations with score >=6 out of 7 on Likert scale for readiness to change over next 1 month (minimum=1, maximum=7, higher score was better) Denominator: The number of individualized preventive service recommendations provided to a patient or 3, whichever was lower
- Patient Readiness to Change Health Behaviors [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment ]Measured by surveys Proportion of top-3 individualized preventive service recommendations ready to change over next 2-6 months Numerator: Number of top-3-ranked recommendations with score >=6 out of 7 on Likert scale for readiness to change over next 2-6 months (minimum=1, maximum=7, higher score was better) Denominator: The number of individualized preventive service recommendations provided to a patient or 3, whichever was lower
- Patient Readiness to Change Health Behaviors. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment ]Measured by surveys Proportion of bottom-3 individualized preventive service recommendations ready to change over next 1 month Numerator: Number of bottom-3-ranked recommendations with score >=6 out of 7 on Likert scale for readiness to change over next 1 month (minimum=1, maximum=7, higher score was better) Denominator: The number of individualized preventive service recommendations provided to a patient or 3, whichever was lower
- Patient Readiness to Change Health Behaviors [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment ]Measured by surveys. Proportion of bottom-3 individualized preventive service recommendations ready to change over next 2-6 months Numerator: Number of bottom-3-ranked recommendations with score >=6 out of 7 on Likert scale for readiness to change over next 2-6 months (minimum=1, maximum=7, higher score was better) Denominator: The number of individualized preventive service recommendations provided to a patient or 3, whichever was lower
- Decisional Comfort. [ Time Frame: Within 3 days of index primary care appointment. ]Measured by surveys. Survey metric: Decisional Conflict Scale (validated scale), converted to 100 point denominator 100 point scale (minimum 1, maximum 100, higher score is better outcome)
- Preventive Care Outcomes for Patients. [ Time Frame: Within 1 year of index primary care appointment. ]Number of participants with at least 1 follow-up encounter during the 1 year after an index encounter.
