Brief Summary

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

For adults \>65 years and their providers, the investigators will test the usability and design of a tool to replace standard uniform reporting of lab results to patients and their providers with a new personalized EHR lab result communication tool that: 1) extracts patient-level data from the EHR; 2) calculates individual risk; and 3) for patients with very low risk, communicates the individualized risk information. The investigators will employ a range of user experience research methods to understand how patient and provider users interact with the new lab result communication tool and to assess their comprehension of the lab results.

Study Groups

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

Personalized Lab Result Arm

Participants (patients aged 65+ and UCLA Health providers) will engage in a tool integrated into the EHR system to personalize how lab results are communicated to patients aged 65+ and their providers. The tool uses individual risk information and different visual/text formats to display results. Participants will view the tool and access user experience through observation, interviews, and surveys.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lab Result Communication Tool

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A behavioral intervention delivered through a personalized EHR-integrated lab result communication tool designed to improve emotional and cognitive responses to lab results among adults aged 65+. The tool applies behavioral science principles such as risk personalization, simplified messaging, and visual framing to reduce patient anxiety, enhance understanding, and support informed decision-making.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Enrolled in the patient portal;
* English-speaking (as the language of the tool is currently only in English, and it would be impractical to have validated translations created for all of the potential variations and derivatives of the tool mock-ups); and
* Without dementia or other neurocognitive disease.


-UCLA Health providers who care for large numbers of older adults in outpatient settings.

Exclusion Criteria

* Have lab results outside of the defined inclusion ranges;
* Do not have a UCLA PCP;
* Are under the age of 65;
* Are not English speaking (as the tool prototypes are only in English until final verbiage is determined);
* Are not enrolled in the UCLA MyChart patient portal; or
* Are diagnosed with dementia
