Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ChatGPT-generated patient education
* Pre-consultation ChatGPT patient education: The patients randomized into the ChatGPT education group will receive a ChatGPT patient education on paper prior to their consultation. The ChatGPT will write a patient-tailored education regarding possible reconstruction options. The patient will review this independently, without additional input or guidance from a research team member
* Patient post-consultation survey: All patients will receive a survey after the planned in-person consultation with the plastic surgeon.
ChatGPT-generated patient education
This is created by entering the patient's age, medical history, social history, and case-specific details into Washington University ChatGPT Beta (HIPAA and FERPA compliant) by a study team member.
Usual education
\- Patients will not receive any additional information prior to their consultation.
Usual patient education
Usual patient education will include description of breast reconstruction options, with further elaboration on which option are more suitable to the patient. This include also review of risk of complications and expected recovery after surgery.
Surgeons
* In order for the surgeon to be blinded to the study arm, all participants will have ChatGPT education created. Participating surgeons will review each patient education sheet prior to the consult and score the accuracy of the provided education sheet. The surgeon will proceed with the consultation as planned. The surgeon is blinded to the patient's study arm as they will be reviewing ChatGPT education for all patients. If any inaccuracies are identified in the patient education sheet, the surgeon will address this with the study team and have the errors fixed prior to providing to the patient.
* The surgeon will receive a survey after each in-person consultation, covering patient experience, surgeon experience, and education material accuracy.
