About this trial

Health care decisions should include patients' health outcome goals and care preferences so as to enable a unified set of individualized patient outcome goals, rather than disparate disease-specific goals that do not reflect patient choice and commitment. This study utilizes a skilled professional interview and a simple tablet-based tool to enable patient choice of health behavior goals. The tool guides the patient to choose a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-based (SMART) goal. The hypothesis of this study is that the implementation this patient choice tool will increase the likelihood of patient adherence to the goal and increase patient self efficacy.
