The goal of this study is to validate a relatively fast, inexpensive, low-tech, automated, and widely available method to identify medical jargon in clinical encounters. We hypothesized that video-recorded clinical encounters can be converted into written transcripts using free software from YouTube.com and analyzed for medical jargon using Health Literacy Advisor Online (HLA) proprietary software. We found that automated transcription and HLA software can be used to provide rough estimations of frequency of jargon use, but further work is needed to find a methodology for automated jargon detection with improved sensitivity. 000010089 540__ $$fCC BY 000010089 650__ $$aAutomation$$015240 000010089 650__ $$aHealth Literacy$$038909 000010089 650__ $$aEducation, Medical$$018223 000010089 6531_ $$amedical jargon 000010089 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000010089 7001_ $$aKing, Katherine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010089 7201_ $$aColeman, Clifford$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000010089 8564_ $$977cb277f-0d4b-443e-9e7f-7779c7ef132a$$s439234$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10089/files/King.Katherine.2023.pdf 000010089 905__ $$a/rest/prod/p8/41/8p/12/p8418p123 000010089 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10089$$pstudent-work 000010089 980__ $$aScholarly Project Capstones
