Delivering patient decision aids on the Internet: definitions, theories, current evidence, and emerging research areas

چکیده
BACKGROUND In 2005, the International Patient Decision Aids Standards Collaboration identified twelve quality dimensions to guide assessment of patient decision aids. One dimension-the delivery of patient decision aids on the Internet-is relevant when the Internet is used to provide some or all components of a patient decision aid. Building on the original background chapter, this paper provides an updated definition for this dimension, outlines a theoretical rationale, describes current evidence, and discusses emerging research areas. METHODS An international, multidisciplinary panel of authors examined the relevant theoretical literature and empirical evidence through 2012. RESULTS The updated definition distinguishes Internet-delivery of patient decision aids from online health information and clinical practice guidelines. Theories in cognitive psychology, decision psychology, communication, and education support the value of Internet features for providing interactive information and deliberative support. Dissemination and implementation theories support Internet-delivery for providing the right information (rapidly updated), to the right person (tailored), at the right time (the appropriate point in the decision making process). Additional efforts are needed to integrate the theoretical rationale and empirical evidence from health technology perspectives, such as consumer health informatics, user experience design, and human-computer interaction. CONCLUSIONS As of 2012, the updated theoretical rationale and emerging evidence suggest potential benefits to delivering patient decision aids on the Internet. However, additional research is needed to identify best practices and quality metrics for Internet-based development, evaluation, and dissemination, particularly in the areas of interactivity, multimedia components, socially-generated information, and implementation strategies.

Walsh and colleagues’ systematic review found no evidence that the use of patient decision aids saves costs. The accompanying editorial by Katz concluded that there is “no compelling reason to prioritise research on the potential role of patient decision support in reducing budgets.” We agree that these areas should not be a top priority for research into patient decision aids. However, Katz er...
