Low-Burden Electronic Health Record Strategies for Engaging Oncologists in Digital Health Behavior Change Interventions: Qualitative Interview Study
Oncologists are motivated and well-positioned to support patients' health behavior change but have unmet informational and technological requirements. On the basis of oncologists' perspectives, our findings provide actionable, user-centered, low-burden strategies for facilitating oncologist-patient conversations about digital health behavior change interventions. We make recommendations for integrating these strategies directly into the electronic medical record system, with the goal of amplifying oncologists' influential roles in motivating health behavior change among survivors. These scalable strategies may be applicable beyond oncology to clinical contexts where greater promotion of patients' health behavior change is desired.
