NCT ID NCT05637489
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a short survey called PING that asks people with chronic disease about their goals and preferences. The goal was to see if filling out the survey before a checkup leads to more conversations about care goals. 20 people took part, and the study looked at whether these talks were recorded in their health records.
