Summary
This trial will compare how giving written info & audio recordings of visits to seniors with chronic diseases affects quality of life & other outcomes. Caregivers can also join.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults (65+) with chronic diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes, plus another condition. They must have used the clinic twice in the last year and plan to continue there. Caregivers can join if they're over 18 and speak English or Spanish. Excluded are those with severe mental health issues, no internet/email access, or who live in nursing homes/hospice.
What is being tested?
The CHRONICLE study compares two methods: providing patients written summaries of their visits via a portal (NOTES) versus adding audio recordings of the visits (AUDIO). It aims to see which method better improves quality of life for older adults managing chronic illnesses.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions such as NOTES and AUDIO recordings, traditional side effects associated with medications are not applicable here.
