About this trial
The purpose of this project is to conduct a trial to assess whether patients that receive a tablet-based waiting room priority communication tool (the "Epilepsy Visit Planner") have improved outcomes compared to patients that do not receive the tool.
The project's hypotheses are:
* Patients that receive the Epilepsy Visit Planner will have improved patient-provider communication compared to the non-planner group. * Patients that receive the Epilepsy Visit Planner will have improved quality of life scores. * The Epilepsy Visit Planner will score highly on process measures of feasibility and acceptability, demonstrating suitability for future larger scale study.
Additionally, there is a related survey project that is not part of the clinical trial and will not be included in this registration information.
