This source compares the response of physicians and artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to cancer-related questions posed by a patient audience. The article analyzed AI responses to questions for their accuracy, depth, and nuance. The study shows that AI is able to provide accurate answers with mild to moderate depth (depending on the questions asked) back is unable to utilize context to tailor responses to specific patient situations. The study suggests that while AI chat should not be used alone to address patient questions and concerns, it can be beneficial to answer questions when a physician is unavailable, such as in after-hours situations. This source can be used to display tools that can be used to improve patient education.

This study is a systemic review analyzing the impact of health technology tools on ostomy care and education. The study focuses on how technological tools can improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. The review details how various technology tools like digital monitoring tools, mobile apps, and telehealth communication portals can improve patient education and understanding, and overall health outcomes. This source can be used to identify different tools that can be used to improve patient education in the inpatient and outpatient settings.

This article discusses the development and implementation of comprehensive care plans (CCPs) for patients considered to be at high risk of readmission. The care plans are patient-centered, multidisciplinary communication tools designed to improve care for patients who are frequently readmitted to the hospital. The CCPs compile important patient information like relevant medical history, treatment goals, and noted hurdles to care, making this information easily accessible for any care team member accessing the patient’s chart. This tool was found to improve collaborative efforts from the care team, providing consistent and holistic care and education to patients with complex cases.

The above source explores the effectiveness of online patient education resources for individuals with inflammatory bowel disease. The study expresses that digital tools like websites or mobile and desktop applications increase accessibility to educational materials, create and provide personalized education materials, and allow single educators to provide education to a larger number of patients. These educational tools were found to improve adherence to treatment plans, enhance self-management techniques, and support better health outcomes. This source can be used to recognize tools that can be used to improve patient education outcomes.
