Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of the My HealtheVet for Health Information Sharing (NCT NCT01955005)
NCT ID: NCT01955005
Last Updated: 2016-02-05
Results Overview
The primary outcome is whether or not the veteran brings their VA information from My HealtheVet to their visit with their non-VA provider. Providers will be asked to complete a form during the appointment where assessment of sharing this information is embedded in a checklist of possible visit activities. Participants will also if they provided this information to the provider in the event the provider opts to not return the form.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Within 1-2 week of non-VA provider visitPopulation: This outcome was collected from the provider completed questionnaire. The reduced sample size is due to the response rate for the My Healthe Vet training group providers (74%) and the Internet Skills Training group (52%).
The primary outcome is whether or not the veteran brings their VA information from My HealtheVet to their visit with their non-VA provider. Providers will be asked to complete a form during the appointment where assessment of sharing this information is embedded in a checklist of possible visit activities. Participants will also if they provided this information to the provider in the event the provider opts to not return the form.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Typically within 1 month of non-VA provider visitPopulation: Medication reconciliation was based on Medical Record Review, therefore there was better representation of the entire sample. 2 Veterans were not included in the Internet Skills Training group because the medical records sent from the Non-VA provider were not adequate to determine an accurate medication list.
A medication discrepancy metric was be calculated by comparing the current VA medication list with the non-VA provider medication list to determine the total number of distinct medications. The number of discrepant medications between these lists is the numerator and is divided by the total number of distinct medications on both lists combined. This will yield a range of scores between score between 0 and 1, with 1 indicating perfect agreement between the two lists.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Typically within 1 month of non-VA provider visitPopulation: Some veterans had their laboratories drawn prior to the medical visit and were therefore excluded from this analysis.
Therapeutic duplication will be defined as concurrent use of more than one medication from the same therapeutic class. For laboratory duplication, we will review non-VA and VA medical records 6 months prior to the non-VA provider visit. Each patient will be assigned a dichotomous indicator for whether they received therapeutic duplication and/or laboratory duplication during their non-VA provider visit
