Committee adopts amendment to let providers use 'miscarriage' alongside 'spontaneous abortion' in records The House Health and Welfare Committee advanced HB 2‑88 to let providers optionally place the word 'miscarriage' alongside 'spontaneous abortion' in medical documents. Supporters described emotional harms from current coding; opponents warned of billing, coding and public‑health reporting complications. The committee approved the bill as amended.

A contentious debate in Louisiana could redefine how emotional losses are documented in medical records, sparking fierce discussions about dignity and clinical standards.

Reframing HPV in the Exam Room: Communication Strategies That Normalize Prevention A few words can change an HPV visit. This article shows how presumptive, cancer‑prevention–focused language, “try this/avoid this” phrases, and 60‑second responses to common concerns help clinicians…

"No thank you, not today." 😔

Swap optional offers for strong recs like "Today I strongly recommend the HPV cancer-prevention vaccine" and acceptance soars.

New article: presumptive phrasing, tools, and examples to make it routine. bit.ly/4uz1vYi

Professional Insights post about explaining blood pressure reading variations. Helps providers educate patients about normal BP fluctuations.

Help patients understand why blood pressure readings vary throughout the day.

Explain common causes (stress, caffeine, activity), help them see their personal patterns, and reassure that variability is normal.

Professional Insights post about explaining why you're asking sensitive questions. Lists techniques for building patient trust through transparent communication.

Healthcare providers: Patients share more sensitive information when they understand why questions are medically relevant.

Try saying "I'm asking because..." before sensitive questions and acknowledge it's personal. Small changes in communication build huge trust.

🧠 95% of decisions aren’t based on logic…

They’re driven by emotion.

In patient care, that means the “I’ll think about it” or “Maybe next year”

Use of a Medical Communication Framework to Assess the Quality of Generative artificial intelligence (#AI) Replies to Primary Care Patient Portal Messages: Content Analysis Background: There is growing interest in applying generative artificial intelligence (#AI) (GenAI) to respond to electronic patient portal messages, particularly in primary care where message volumes are highest. However, evaluations of GenAI as an inbox communication tool are limited. Qualitative analysis of when and how often GenAI responses achieve communication goals can inform estimates of impact and guide continuous improvement. Objective: To evaluate GenAI responses to primary care messages using a medical communication framework. Methods: This was a descriptive quality improvement study of 201 GenAI replies to a purposively sampled, diverse pool of real primary care patient messages in a large midwestern academic medical center. Two PCP reviewers used a hybrid deductive-inductive approach to qualitatively identify and define themes, guided by constructs from the “best practice” medical communication framework. After achieving thematic saturation, the reviewers assessed the presence or absence of identified communication themes, both independently and collaboratively. Discrepant observations were reconciled via discussion. Frequencies of identified themes were tallied. Results: Themes in strengths and limitations emerged across five communication domains. In the domain of Rapport Building, expressing respect and restating key phrases were strengths, while inappropriate or inadequate rapport building statements were limitations. For Information Gathering, questions that built toward a plan or elicited patient needs were strengths, while questions that were out of place or redundant were limitations. For Information Delivery, accurate content delivered clearly and professionally was a strength, but delivery of inaccurate content was an observed limitation. GenAI responses could Facilitate Next Steps by outlining choices or providing instruction, but sometimes those next steps were inappropriate or premature. Finally, in Responding to Emotion, strengths were that emotions were named and validated, while inadequate or absent acknowledgment of emotion were limitations. Overall, 26.4% of all messages (53 of 201) displayed communication strengths without limitations; 27.4% (55 of 201) had limitations without strengths; and the remaining 46.3% (93 of 201) had both. Strengths outnumbered limitations in Rapport Building (43.3% [87 of 201] vs. 17.4% [35 of 201]) and Facilitating Next Steps (36.3% [73 of 201] vs. 19.4% [39 of 201]). Limitations outnumbered strengths in the remaining domains of Information Delivery (44.3% [89 of 201] vs 21.4% [43 of 201]), Information Gathering (29.9% [60 of 201] vs 21.4% [43 of 201]), and Responding to Emotion (8.5% [17 of 201] vs 4.5% [9 of 201]). Conclusions: GenAI response quality on behalf of PCPs may vary by communication function. Expressions of respect or descriptions of common next steps may be appropriate, but gathering and delivering appropriate information, or responding to emotion, may be limited. While communication standards were often met, they were also often compromised. Understanding these strengths and limitations can inform decisions about whether, when, and how to apply GenAI as a tool for primary care inbox communication.
