Translating and Sharing a research paper to a patient
1) open article in pubmed
2) on right side, click for PubReader format
3) Copy title and content of the Case Report (or research article)
4) Paste in a blank google docs
5) In google docs click on tools and then translate and choose your patient's langiage
6) Click share and then share to patient's email id or print to provide as paper document.
7) Can do corrections if needed, as translation tools are not 100% accurate but as they are very efficient, corrections may not be necessary. (It is recommended to have corrections and utilize for sharing copies to any number of patients.)
8) Ask the patient to highlight/comment and ask questions with you for clearing doubt online or in next consult or in meeting with patient group.
Patient themself can also follow the above way.
Patients must note that it is for learning and not for self-diagnosis or modifying treatment plan. The knowledge gained will help to better participate in own care process and make patient and doctor more impactful in care delivery. Doctor's must note to explain patient this point clearly.
There may be challenges with IP, and they should be solved by looking for best possible and articles shareable this way.
