Studies

Patient experiences with Value-Based Insurance Designs (VBID) in Kaiser Permanente: Plan Knowledge and Medication Behavior

The study will examine patient knowledge and experience in a Value-based insurance designs plan by surveying 1,000 patients newly enrolling in a VBID plan. The survey will collect patient knowledge of their plan, patient-reported medication behavior (including specific cost barriers to adherence and financial burden, and preferences for receiving additional education/nudges about medication costs and hypothetical behavior changes with free preventive medications.

Interactive Personal Health Records: Use of a Web-Portal by Patients with Complex Chronic Conditions

Patient use of health IT tools to interact with healthcare providers and delivery systems, including exchanging secure messages with their medical providers and using other web-based tools, has great potential to increase patient access to care, change the way healthcare is delivered, and affect patient clinical outcomes. This study will examine the impact of implementation and use of consumer health IT tools on patient-reported access to care, utilization of medical care services, and clinical outcomes.
