Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine if presenting treatment options to basal cell carcinoma patients in video format will improve efficiency and allow patients to receive consistent, comprehensive, visually-depicted treatment option information to improve patient quality of care. Patients can learn more about treatment options as they are depicted visually so as to better assist them in understanding treatment risks and benefits to confidently make a well-informed decision. Primarily, the study will evaluate efficiency when using the education video medium. The study will also evaluate the effectiveness of the video medium as an aid to decision making in addition to standard of care in comparison to the standard of care alone. Additionally, the study will evaluate both patients' and dermatologists' satisfaction of the educational intervention.
