Let them speak for themselves: improving adolescent self-report rate on pre-visit screening.
This study examined the effect of an automated alert during electronic pre-visit electronic tablet screening on the adolescent self-report rate at pediatric ambulatory clinics. The goal was to increase self-reporting as opposed to parents or caregivers filling out the screening information.bAn interventional study was conducted over a 16 month period. Preintervention rates were low for adolescents, with parents or caregivers completing the pre-visit reports at a high rate. After intervention, self-reporting by younger adolescents nearly doubled and among older adolescents the stable baseline rate of 53.6% increased by 9.2 absolute percentage points.

Patient and clinician perspectives on the outpatient after-visit summary: a qualitative study to inform improvements in visit summary design.
The researchers explored patients' and clinicians' perspectives on electronic health record (EHR)-generated outpatient after-visit summaries (AVSs) to inform efforts to maximize the document's utility. They learned that core themes included the use and purpose of the AVS, content modification and prioritization, formatting improvements, customization, privacy and accuracy concerns, and clinician workflow concerns.
