Abstract:
:The effectiveness of sharing medical records in improving physician-older patient communication was evaluated in 203 ambulatory chronically ill older patients (mean age, 70.1 years) by a randomized controlled trial. Ninety-five experimental group patients received copies of their physicians' progress notes 1 week after their last office visit, and 108 control patients did not. After 1-2 weeks, knowledge of health problems, medication, and nonmedication treatments was assessed by interview. Experimental group patients knew 74.1% of their health problems, compared with 64.1% in the control groups (P less than 0.05). There was no difference in knowledge of medications or adherence to medication regimens. Experimental group patients displayed higher treatment knowledge scores than control group patients (P less than 0.01). Less-educated patients showed greater adherence to nonmedication treatments. Shared medical records can enhance physician-older patient communication about health problems and nonmedication treatments, but they do little to enhance medication knowledge or adherence to medication regimens.
