Patient-Clinician Communication Interventions Across Multiple Primary Care Sites: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Despite various attempts to improve patient-clinician communication, there has been limited head-to-head comparison of these efforts.

Objective

To assess whether clinician coaching (mobile application or in-person) is more effective than reminder posters in examination rooms and whether mobile app use is noninferior to in-person coaching.

Design, setting, and participants

A cluster randomized clinical trial with 3 arms. A total of 21 primary care clinics participated in 3 health systems in the US; participants were patients and primary care clinicians with clinic visits between August 28, 2019, and December 31, 2021. Data were analyzed from August 4, 2022, to November 10, 2024. Data analysis was based on intention to treat.
