Summary

For adults \>65 years and their providers, the investigators will test the usability and design of a tool to replace standard uniform reporting of lab results to patients and their providers with a new personalized EHR lab result communication tool that: 1) extracts patient-level data from the EHR; 2) calculates individual risk; and 3) for patients with very low risk, communicates the individualized risk information. The investigators will employ a range of user experience research methods to understand how patient and provider users interact with the new lab result communication tool and to assess their comprehension of the lab results.
