Patients are interested in secure electronic communication with their health-care providers, but physicians have been slow to adopt the technique into their practice. We have therefore reviewed the literature on secure patient messaging. Relevant studies were identified by Medline search which produced 1065 publications. Of these, 71 relevant articles were read independently by two reviewers. Currently available messaging systems allow for asynchronous communication, physician reimbursement and automated supporting functions such as triaging of patient messages and integration of messaging into medical records. The review showed that patients are satisfied with the use of secure physician messaging systems and find such services to be convenient, time-saving and useful. Physicians do not report adverse effects from their use. Legal concerns with electronic messaging include compliance with privacy standards. The economic benefits of secure messaging systems are most immediately apparent for larger health-care groups and hospitals, although smaller practices will also benefit in the long run. Secure patient-physician messaging is a convenient and useful addition to the health-care infrastructure. It can be expected that the identification of secure providers, integration with reimbursement systems and initial uptake by larger health-care organizations will speed up the adoption into routine health care.

“…We excluded mass media materials (e.g., magazines, newspapers, advertisements), which could influence patients' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about HPV testing and cervical cancer screening. 23 In addition, we did not consider the suitability of the materials, layout of graphics, or cultural relevance, nor did we perform an interrater assessment of the SMOG reading level scores. Only 11 materials were reviewed, and these materials may have been revised since our review, which was conducted in 2006.…”

“…21 In many cases, web-based education is the patient's primary source of health-related information. [22][23][24] Populations facing significant barriers in accessing healthcare often turn to the Internet for health information. 25 Therefore, web-based patient education materials play an important role in patient care and in the dissemination of information about new screening technologies.…”

Background: Adjunct human papillomavirus (HPV) testing with cervical cytology (Pap test) is one option that can increase screening intervals for women aged Ն30 years who have concurrent negative (normal) test results. Previous research suggests that most women are unaware of the relationship between HPV and cervical cancer. In addition, patients often do not understand the significance of their HPV test results, let alone the implications of negative results for future cervical cancer risk or screening options. Patient education materials that explain new screening methods and guidelines for cervical cancer screening with HPV testing can improve resource utilization and support patients making screening decisions. Methods: We identified cervical cancer screening materials published from 2004 through 2006 by U.S. government and nonprofit agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and professional associations via a web-based search. We reviewed those materials for content relating to HPV and HPV testing, screening guidelines, and reading grade level. Results: Eleven patient education materials met selection criteria for this review. Seven materials (five of which were industry sponsored or produced) promoted updated guidelines for women with concurrent negative HPV and cytology test results. The mean reading grade level of materials was found to be approximately ninth grade. Conclusions: This review highlights the need for more comprehensive, plainer language patient education materials that explain new technologies in cervical cancer screening.

“…Illuminating the effectiveness of social support for health via CMC, much previous work reports participants valuing a reduction in geographic barriers, the availability of rapid response and 'just in time' support, and the online open discussion of health concerns [13,18]. Often, online social support fora mirror the role of face-to-face support groups, serving the needs of those living with particular struggles such as Huntington's disease [9], asthma [26], or post-partum depression [15].…”

Social support plays an important role in health systems. While significant work has explored the role of social support in CMC environments, less analysis has considered social support in mobile health systems. This paper describes socially supportive messages in VERA, a mobile application for sharing health decisions and behaviors. The short and bursty interactions in social awareness streams [36] afford a particular style of social support, for which we offer the label staccato social support. Results indicate that, in comparison to previous work, staccato social support is characterized by a greater prevalence of esteem support, which builds respect and confidence. We further note the presence of 'following up', a positive behavior that contributes to supportive interactions, likely via social pressure and accountability [7,38]. These findings suggest design recommendations to developers of mobile social support systems and contribute to understanding technologically mediated social support for health.
