Description
Kasey R Boehmer and co-authors trial a discussion aid meant to improve care for people with long-term conditions. Their 2024 study tests the ICAN aid in primary care, where visits must weigh illness burden, treatment burden, and what matters to the patient.
Eight clinics in four health systems were split by lottery, and ninety-eight clinicians with more than seventeen hundred patients took part. Most headline outcomes showed no clear gain. A deeper analysis did find better confidence among patients in managing illness and speaking with clinicians, and better clinician ratings of chronic care. Chart checks showed the aid reached only about a fifth of eligible visits. Where it was used as designed, both sides valued the talks it opened.
