We are building an automatic pathology report summarization system. We would like to include human judgement from professionals to help us understand and explain the results, and improve the system. In the evaluation, we will schedule a 30-min meeting do go through the details and for the professional to sign a consent form. The professional will expect to receive twenty documents including ten raw reports and ten summaries of these reports. They will be sent in a random order with no correspondence indicated. For each of the document, you will be asked to answer ten questions. We will evaluate the quality of the summaries based on the time she/he spent on reading the report, answering the questions, and the accuracy of the questions.

We are exploring what primary care physicians feel is important for them to know about nutrition given their clinical experience, how they would have liked to learn nutrition during their medical training, and desired ways to support them in providing nutrition care in their current practice. We are also evaluating a tool that may make nutrition counseling easier and more efficient for providers. The results of the study can potentially lead to improvements in nutrition training in medicine and quality of nutrition care.
