Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to improve the clinical encounter through the design of the clinical environment. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to measure the extent to which a newly designed clinical room, compared to a traditional room, affects the patient-physician interaction. We will judge this outcome by (a) videotaping encounters; and (b) conducting post-visit surveys with patients and an interview with physicians. We will use both qualitative and quantitative tools, including a validated and widely used interaction coding system on the videotapes, to draw inferences from these data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Usual room

Patients in this arm will see their clinician in the usual clinical exam room

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control room

Intervention Type OTHER

This is the usual clinical room for a clinical visit, with physician at desk and chairs along the wall for patient/family.

Re-designed room

Patients assigned to this arm will see the physician in a redesigned clinical exam room

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Re-designed room

Intervention Type OTHER

In the redesigned room patients and clinicians are sitting at a single table in a different configuration compared to the usual clinical exam room, with the doctor at the computer and two chairs for the patient and family/friends.
