In both popular and academic discussions of the use of algorithms in clinical practice, narratives often draw on the decisive potentialities of algorithms and come with the belief that algorithms will substantially transform healthcare. We suggest that this approach is associated with a logic of disruption. However, we argue that in clinical practice alongside this logic, another and less recognised logic exists, namely that of continuation: here the use of algorithms constitutes part of an established practice. Applying these logics as our analytical framing, we set out to explore how algorithms for clinical decision-making are enacted by political stakeholders, healthcare professionals, and patients, and in doing so, study how the legitimacy of delegating to an algorithm is negotiated and obtained. Empirically we draw on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in relation to attempts in Denmark to develop and implement Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) tools – involving algorithmic sorting – in clinical practice. We follow the work within two disease areas: heart rehabilitation and breast cancer follow-up care. We show how at the political level, algorithms constitute tools for disrupting inefficient work and unsystematic patient involvement, whereas closer to the clinical practice, algorithms constitute a continuation of standardised and evidence-based diagnostic procedures and a continuation of the physicians’ expertise and authority. We argue that the co-existence of the two logics have implications as both provide a push towards the use of algorithms and how a logic of continuation may divert attention away from new issues introduced with automated digital decision-support systems.

Abstract Whiteboard animation videos are engaging learning media for Generation Z. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of a whiteboard animation video for vitamin in the Nutrition Science subject for class X culinary vocational school. This study was research and development using a 4D approach (define, design, develop, disseminate). The define stage analyzed the curriculum, material, student character, learning media, and school facilities. The design stage included the writing and assessing the material, the writing and assessing of storyboards, and production team selection. The develop stage was making a video and assessing the feasibility. Animation images were created using Paint Tool Sai. Image conversion from JPEG to SVG was performed with Inkscape. The dubber’s voice was recorded with Universal Audio using the Apollo Twin audio interface and Avantone CV12 microphone. The audio was edited in Pro Tools 2020.9. To produce a whiteboard animation video, animation images, captions, dubber’s voice, and back sound were combined with VideoScribe. Videos used mpg format. In order to maintain video duration below 10 minutes, the video was divided into two parts. The assessment of video feasibility was carried out by one media expert and two content experts. The assessment of feasibility at the disseminate stage was carried out to 30 users. Based on the feasibility assessment, this video was very suitable to be applied as a learning medium.

PURPOSE Patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools lead to clinical benefits, including improved overall survival for patients with cancer. However, routine implementation of PROs in clinical practice within the electronic medical record (EMR) by integrated health care delivery systems remains limited. We studied the use of a PRO tool for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) integrated in an EMR at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California. METHODS Between August 2017 and December 2019, patients with newly diagnosed HNC were surveyed at baseline, then every 3 months using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General 7 and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Head and Neck (version 4). A medical assistant performed a baseline survey on diagnosis and then notified patients electronically per surveillance protocol. Patients who did not respond to online PRO surveys could complete them via telephone or in-person appointments with medical assistants. Abnormal findings on PRO surveys were referred to appropriate members of the care team or the treating Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery physicians. RESULTS Two hundred ninety patients received baseline surveys. Patients received up to a maximum of eight subsequent surveys. Of a total of 597 electronic surveys, 585 (97.9%) were completed. The percentage of patients completing each interval survey ranged from 92% to 100%. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis showed patients with English as their primary language and an online secure account were the most likely to complete surveys compared with those patients with non-English as a primary language and without an online account. CONCLUSION PRO tools can be effectively used within the EMR for patients with HNC with a high response rate provided there is strong engagement from a dedicated member of the care team. This has important implications for designing clinical trials and symptom monitoring in clinical practices that incorporate EMRs.

The Impact

Background: Little is known with regard to patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in the setting of implant-based reconstruction (IBR) with post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). Methods: We identified patients who underwent immediate IBR from a prospectively compiled database. The Breast Reconstruction Satisfaction Questionnaire (BRECON-31) was scored and compared between patients with and without PMRT. Results: Sixty-four women met the study criteria. Forty-eight did not receive PMRT and 16 did. Nine women had an unanticipated indication for PMRT. The PMRT group was similar to the control group with regard to baseline characteristics (ie, age, marital status, body mass index, tobacco use, and comorbidities). However, treatment and oncologic characteristics (eg, diagnosis, tumour characteristics, systemic therapy use) differed. Of all complications, only capsular contracture rates differed (1.2% vs 13%; P = .01). Of the 9 subscales, 7 showed no difference in satisfaction between the groups. Radiated women scored lower in the arm concerns and breast appearance subscales. Scores were similar whether the indication for PMRT had been anticipated or not. Discussion: Women with immediate IBR scored similarly to their nonradiated counterparts across 7 of 9 domains of satisfaction. Arm concerns and breast appearance scores are lower with PMRT, likely secondarily to more extensive nodal procedures in higher stage patients and to the side effect profile of radiotherapy. Our findings are in line with the few available studies using other PRO tools to evaluate the impact of PMRT on patient satisfaction and studies objectively measuring the effect of PMRT on arm morbidity and cosmetic outcomes.

The prognosis of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has improved so that life expectancy for patients responding to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is now equivalent to age-matched controls. Attention should be paid to comorbidities that impact survival. The success of TKI therapy can be easily and reliably assessed at well-accepted time points using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) standardized to the international scale. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools are readily available for use in the clinic and provide complementary information on the tolerance of TKIs. Effectively managing adverse events of TKIs can improve compliance and quality of life. Discontinuation of TKIs is the next frontier in CML. In select patients with sustained deep molecular remission, a discontinuation of TKI is associated with a durable treatment-free remission in approximately 50%. Patient engagement in their discontinuation can be achieved through a provider multi-team coaching, is complementary to the available guidelines, and may provide an additional safety net so that these discontinuations remain safe when applied in general practices.
