Summary

The implementation of the AI-assisted radiology summary tool into clinical workflows is being conducted as part of a standard-of-care quality improvement (QI) initiative at UW Health. The evaluation of this tool's impact via structured feedback from patients and providers is being undertaken as a prospective research study.

Detailed description

Patient groups: Mixed-method approach to evaluate patient understanding of, and anxiety about, imaging results and communication experience regarding the results before and after implementation of AI-assisted, patient-friendly imaging report summaries that accompany the imaging results. Provider group: Quasi-experimental staircase approach to sequentially roll out the tool to three provider cohorts. All hematology/oncology and gynecology oncology attending providers will be randomized by disease group into three relatively similar-sized cohorts based on group-level scan volumes, regardless of individual provider characteristics or communication style. Subsequent cohorts will be added every two months. Surveys will be the main method of feedback collection at baseline and after implementation of the AI-assisted, patient-friendly imaging report summaries. Interviews will be conducted in a small subset of subjects. Primary Objective: * To evaluate patient comprehension of, and anxiety about, imaging results and communication experience regarding the results before and after implementation of AI-assisted, patient-friendly imaging report summaries that accompany the imaging results. Secondary Objective(s): * Patient Baseline Survey Objective: To evaluate comprehension of, and anxiety about, imaging results and communication experience regarding the results before the implementation of the AI-assisted, patient-friendly imaging report summaries that accompany the imaging results. * Patient Summary Feedback Survey Objective: To evaluate comprehension of, and anxiety about, imaging results and communication experience regarding the results after the implementation of the AI-assisted, patient-friendly imaging report summaries that accompany the imaging results. * Patient Interview Objectives: To understand the imaging result communication process from the patient's perspective. * Provider Surveys Objective: The Baseline Survey will assess communication habits and preferences (frequency, method, timing), and perceived impact of the AI-Assisted, Patient-Friendly Imaging Report Summaries on clinical workload, and the Post-Implementation Surveys will evaluate changes in workload perception, satisfaction with the AI-Assisted, Patient-Friendly Imaging Report Summaries, the effectiveness of scan result communication with patients, and attitudes toward the use of AI-assisted material in patient care.
