Interventions

  • NLP-based Feedback — BEHAVIORAL
    Audio recordings will be made using either digital recorders or telehealth platform-generated transcripts. Patient reports will include only the extracted sentences related to content areas. Physician reports will note the extracted statements across each content area, the quality scores for individual statements based on the pre-specified hierarchy, the statements that achieved the highest score across each content area, and feedback on what could be improved. For patients, decisional conflict and risk perception will be assessed before and after receiving the NLP-based feedback. For physicians, the investigators will assess baseline quality of risk communication by pre-specified hierarchy, any changes in individual physician communication over time, and accuracy of risk estimates for key content areas.

Study Details

In this pilot study, the investigators will show feasibility of the NLP-based feedback system in 20 consultations of men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. The investigators will recruit from the practices of up to 10 physicians who typically see these patients. The investigators will report the top five sentences from each consultation across key content areas (cancer prognosis, life expectancy, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and irritative urinary symptoms) to both patients and physicians within 2 weeks of the consultation.

    20 men with newly diagnosed clinically localized prostate cancers and utilize NLP to extract key content using the top five sentences by NLP probability for key content areas will be generated and will be provided to patients and providers within 2 weeks after each case.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Decisional Conflict Scale Scores before and after intervention (patient-level outcome) [ Time Frame: Measured directly after treatment consultation and after NLP-based feedback given to patients within 2 weeks of consultation ]
