Objectives• Define the role of patient education and self management in the patient-
centered treatment of depression and other chronic illnesses in primary care
• Identify ways in which the use of phone, tablet and iPod-based technologies can help address current limitations in traditional patient education modalities
• Describe the use of podcasts in providing patient education in primary care and identify the outcomes of a pilot study testing the acceptability and impact of this modality.
• Discuss future opportunities to integrate interactive technology with current patient education, self management, and behavior change strategies
Patient Education (PE) and Self Management in the Patient-Centered Medical Home
“Supporting patients in improving their health is a key expectation for the medical home.”
Patient support includes helping chronic disease patients:(1) develop and follow self-care guidelines about diet, exercise,
medication adherence, and symptom recognition; (2) deal with risk factors such as obesity and undertake efforts to
reduce their risks. Positive effects on patient outcomes, knowledge, and self-efficacy.
“These efforts include computer-based programs that combine health information with online peer support, decision support, or help with behavior change.” (Murray et al., 2005)

Challenges to Patient Education and Self Management Efforts in the Patient-
• Clinical Usefulness– More effective, standardized– Visual, tangible, more interactive
than a handout• Impact on Patients
– “Made sense”– Reinforcing, more than one
source• Possible Barriers and Future Use
– Technical (paperwork, theft, battery)
– Already in Use
What does this mean?
• The results of this preliminary study lend
support to the notion that podcasts delivered
through iPods or other handheld devices
appear to be acceptable and helpful patient
education tools for the treatment of depression
within an underserved primary care setting.
Limitations• Research Limitations
– Sampling (Clinics, Providers, Participants)
– Single Group Design (No comparisons)
– Limited Assessment (Implementation, Outcomes)
• Clinical Limitations
– Type of Technology Used • iPods vs. Smart Phones
• Interactive (Stages of Change, Sense of Self Efficacy, Peer Support)
– Single Clinical Application
Expanding the Discussion
• Other Chronic Illnesses and Health Behaviors– Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking Cessation
• Interactive Technology– Apps for diaphragmatic breathing and guided imagery– Text reminders for self management behaviors– Interactive apps based on readiness for change and sense
of self efficacy– Apps for self-monitoring (mood, self management
behaviors)– Online peer support
