Coaching Patients to Understand and Use Patient-Reported Outcome Data: Intervention Design and Evaluation

Our results highlight the value of coaching as an intervention to help patients understand and use novel health information, including PRO data, in conversations with clinicians. Given that it was well-liked by patients, promoting a greater understanding of the PRO-based ASK report, and increased feelings of preparedness for clinical consultation, coaching appears to be a promising intervention to support patients in understanding and using their personal health data.
