Digital systems effectively collect real-time feedback (RTF) from patients, showing high engagement. However, most systems lack digital maturity, particularly in interoperability, hindering potential improvements in patient experience.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Patient Experience Research
- Digital Health Systems
Background:
- Real-time feedback (RTF) is crucial for enhancing patient experience.
- Digital technology is increasingly used for RTF collection.
- Factors influencing the success of digital RTF systems require evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the digital maturity of real-time patient experience feedback systems.
- To evaluate patient acceptability of digital RTF systems.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across multiple databases (e.g., Cochrane, EMBASE, PsycINFO).
- Assessment of digital maturity using a framework with domains: capacity/resource, usage, interoperability, and impact.
- Analysis of patient and staff views on digital RTF systems.
Main Results:
- Digital RTF systems demonstrated acceptable response rates and positive patient/staff views.
- No systems achieved the highest digital maturity level; interoperability was notably absent.
- Demographic data from RTF showed overrepresentation of females, white patients, and those aged ≥65.
Conclusions:
- Patients and staff are willing to use digital RTF, replacing paper-based methods.
- Insufficient digital maturity, especially in interoperability, can impede RTF effectiveness.
- Healthcare services must prioritize digital system maturity for successful RTF implementation.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...
