A randomized controlled trial was undertaken to measure the efficacy of a patient reminder system for females age 40 - 75 in a Midwestern primary care practice. A subset of the population whose email addresses were known was further randomized to measure the effect of email versus postal reminders. A statistically significant increase in completion rates was observed in the intervention group while no difference was found between the email and postal mail groups.
在中西部地区的一家初级保健机构进行了一项随机对照试验,以评估针对40至75岁女性的患者提醒系统的效果。已知电子邮件地址的人群子集被进一步随机分组,以衡量电子邮件提醒与邮寄提醒的效果差异。干预组的完成率有统计学意义的显著提高,而电子邮件组和邮寄组之间未发现差异。
