Appointment Companion Tool

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to pilot the patient appointment companion (PAC) tool in use with patients with amyloidosis and multiple myeloma (MM). Patients with hematologic malignancies have unique information and communication needs compared to those with solid tumors. The internet has shifted the dynamics of the patient–doctor relationship, toward one of more mutual participation whereby power and responsibility are shared.  The PAC was designed as a patient-centered, user-friendly platform that aids patients’ preparation for their visits with clinicians. PAC provides an online tool that empowers patients to direct their treatment preferences and care alongside their physician teams per the provisions of HIPAA.  Data will be collected to:

  • Assess the feasibility of using PAC to prepare for clinic vists; and
  • Assess the helpfulness/acceptability of the tool.
