SUNY 上州医科大学’s 老年科 and Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine have received a two-year, $250,000 award from the national Patient-Centered Outcomes 研究 Institute (PCORI) for a project entitled Virtual Health 图书馆: Disseminating PCORI Findings to Patients with 痴呆 at the Point of Care. SUNY 推荐最近最火的赌博软件’s 健康科学图书馆 and 信息 and Technology Management staff are also partners on the project.

The Virtual Health 图书馆 will use SUNY 推荐最近最火的赌博软件’s electronic medical record system to provide information to patients and 他们的照顾者 that is relevant to the patient's condition at the time of a medical appointment. The project addresses the need for patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and 他们的照顾者 to have access to trusted, up-to-date information in a timely manner that can help them make the most informed decisions possible about their care.

Sharon Brangman说, MD, 项目负责人, "Too often patients do not have the information they need about treatment options and struggle to communicate their wishes to their health care provider." "The project will help bridge this information gap."

信息 modules and videos in the Virtual Health 图书馆 will draw from scientific evidence from PCORI funded studies and other trusted sources nationally.

项目联合领导, Telisa Stewart博士, stated "The project addresses the fact that patients and caregivers are increasingly turning to the Internet for information, 这通常是不准确的, not scientific and out of date. All content in the Virtual Health 图书馆 will be reliable, scientifically based and summarized in lay language that the general public can understand."

This approach builds on a multi-year collaboration between SUNY 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 and FOCUS Greater Syracuse funded by PCORI to create a network of patients and caregivers who help design and carry out studies and projects intended to benefit older adults. 网络, the Central New York Citizens Aging 研究 and Action Network (CNY-CAN), now includes over 200 patients, caregivers and other health care stakeholders.
