WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE?
You have been invited to be in this research study because you have multiple chronic health conditions. The purpose of this study is to support the development and testing of a care planner application that is designed to support care coordination, communication, and collaboration for care team members across all settings, including the home.
We are asking you to allow us to place a copy of some elements of your personal health information in a research data store that exists outside the official electronic health record. This copy of your personal health information will be stored for the duration of the study will not be used and/or shared for future research, and will be destroyed after the study is complete.
WHAT PROCEDURES ARE INVOLVED IN THIS STUDY?:
You will be given access to a new medical software application that will store your health information, and present it to you for review. We will ask you to participate in a 30-60 minute teleconference interview where you will review the application and answer basic questions about the accuracy of your data, as well as the functionality and usefulness of the application. We may ask your permission to record all or part of the interview. We may ask if you are comfortable sharing screen shots of the application displaying your health information.
The health information to be obtained and stored will include diagnoses, procedures, prescription medications, care providers, and personal health goals. The stored information will not be shared with anyone outside of the research team. It will not be analyzed for anything other than your perception of its completeness and accuracy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this study now or in the future, or you think you may have been injured or harmed by the study, contact the research team at the following email address: [email protected]
WHAT RISKS CAN I EXPECT FROM TAKING PART IN THIS STUDY?
Although we have made every effort to protect your identity, there is a minimal risk of loss of confidentiality.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING PART IN THIS STUDY?
You will not directly benefit from being in this study. However, by serving as a subject, you may help us learn how to benefit patients in the future.
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES TO TAKING PART IN THIS STUDY?
You may freely choose not to participate in this study.
WILL I RECEIVE RESULTS FROM THIS STUDY?
You will not receive results from this study.
If you are interested in staying informed about the progress being made on the development of the application, and continuing to contribute to the development process, we may ask for your permission to contact you again in the future.
WHO WILL SEE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In this study, we will take steps to keep your personal information confidential, but we cannot guarantee total privacy. We will do our best to keep your information confidential by following standard security protocols. The physical systems that host the research data store are managed by OHSU’s Advanced Computing Center (ACC) in their restricted facility. This means, it is only accessible from within OHSU’s network by specific individuals. In addition, the research data store shall reside on an entirely separate server, which is not accessible from the Internet at all.
We may have to release this information to others for example, if the study is audited. However, we would try to do so without information that could identify you. This release could be to the Institutional Review Board (ethics review committee) at OHSU, the funder of the study, or the Office of Human Research Protection (agencies that oversee research). If your information goes outside of OHSU, it might not be protected under federal law from being used or further shared.
If you decide at any point that you no longer want to participate, and you would like your personal health information removed from the research data store, you can request this by contacting:
Gina DeNoble, MS
Research Project Coordinator
Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology
Oregon Health & Sciences University
Your request will be effective as of the date we receive it. However, health information collected before your request is received may continue to be used and disclosed to the extent that it already has been based on your authorization.
You do not have to allow the use and disclosure of your health information in the study, but if you do not, you cannot be in the study. If you choose not to participate, or if you decide to stop at any time, it will not affect your ability to receive health care at OHSU or insurance coverage.
WILL ANY OF MY INFORMATION FROM THIS STUDY BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PROFIT?
Information, including any photographs, videotapes, or audiotapes, about you or obtained from you in this research may be used for commercial purposes, such as making a discovery that could, in the future, be patented or licensed to a company, which could result in a possible financial benefit to that company, OHSU, and its researchers. There are no plans to pay you if this happens. You will not have any property rights or ownership or financial interest in or arising from products or data that may result from your participation in this study. Further, you will have no responsibility or liability for any use that may be made of your samples or information.
