Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PURPOSE: Patient-facing electronic health portals, such as Epic's MyChart, enable new avenues of patient care, improving transparency and health literacy. The objective of this project was to cocreate an educational tool for pediatric patients with cancer and their caregivers to help them navigate the use of a patient portal. METHODS: A patient portal educational tool for pediatric patients with cancer and caregivers was cocreated using the design thinking framework for human-centered design. This framework consists of five steps: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. During the empathize step, a survey and semistructured interviews were conducted to identify patient portal educational preferences of pediatric patients with cancer and their caregivers. During the define step, a multidisciplinary working group was established to identify educational gaps. During the ideate and prototype phases, a new educational tool was developed. In the test phase, user acceptability testing (UAT) was conducted with pediatric patients with cancer and their caregivers. RESULTS: During ideation, 31 participants (13 patients and 18 caregivers) provided patient portal educational tool preferences; an online module was most preferred. Of the 31 participants, 26 (84%) were interested in further patient portal education. Among the 25 participants interested in patient portal education, the most commonly identified topic of interest for participants was learning about how to view appointments in their patient portal (n = 25 of 26, 96%). An online module was developed using Articulate Rise. UAT was conducted with 50 participants. A total of 100% (n = 50 of 50) felt that new oncology patients would benefit from the module when they first register for the patient portal, and 96% (n = 48 of 50) felt that the module met their learning needs. CONCLUSION: Pediatric patients with cancer and their families are interested in receiving additional training related to the use of patient portals. An educational module can be successfully created to meet patients' educational needs as they relate to patient portal knowledge.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
