Creating more explanations for medical concepts | “There was still a bit of medical jargon in there that either needs to be removed, or there should be a definitions and examples page” |
“For drugs, [it] would be nice to have definition, examples, side effects ([especially] Hydroxyurea)” | |
“I would want symptoms, or what do we mean by ‘gallstones’ or ‘discomfort’” | |
“Also, [we] want more about why SCD causes this or affects this, that these complications happen over years” | |
Streamlining the format and organization of the information | “Categories need to be better laid out, for example, by age would be better” |
“More small sentences and bullet points, not long paragraphs” | |
“Remove all the ‘if you are XX age’ … and make content only appear in certain sections by age” | |
“There is too much information that may not be relevant to a person at their [current] age, and they would just want relevant information [filter by their age]” | |
“Some things were repetitive like vaso-occlusive episode, and there should be a definition for the section, but then just call the episode a ‘pain crisis’” | |
“Combine depression screening, or at least make [the recommendations] by age, and again, less wording, more bullet points” | |
Identifying which content was actionable | “Make the verbiage more actionable, for example, if you don’t have a pain action plan – get a pain action plan” |
“I can’t tell what is actionable [in these guidelines]” | |
Using more visual representations of the content | “I would like a vaccine schedule in the content and more pictures” |
“We need more pictures” |
