ChatGPT & Surgeon Synergy: Redefining Breast Reconstruction Consultations for Enhanced Patient Engagement and Satisfaction
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
In this study, patients who are scheduled for breast reconstruction consultation will be randomized into the intervention group (ChatGPT-generated patient education regarding possible reconstruction options) or the control group (usual patient education). All patients will complete a survey following their in-person consultation to assess their experience and overall satisfaction with the consultation process. Additionally, participating surgeons will complete a separate survey to evaluate their consultation experience, satisfaction, and to assess the accuracy and clinical utility of the ChatGPT-generated patient education materials. The surveys are designed to gather information on patient characteristics, organizational health literacy according to Brega et al. Other survey questions have been designed to meet the outcomes of this study and have not been based on previously published surveys.
