Current patient experience surveys inadequately assess telehealth services, covering only 20.2% of sub-themes. Few validated surveys are specific to telehealth, hindering effective patient care evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Patient Experience Measurement
- Digital Health
Background:
- Patient experience significantly influences healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and health system economics.
- Evaluating patient experience is crucial for improving telehealth services and ensuring equitable care.
- Existing patient experience surveys require assessment for their comprehensiveness and relevance to telehealth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the coverage of patient experience sub-themes within validated surveys.
- To determine the extent to which current validated surveys are telehealth-specific.
- To identify gaps in existing instruments for assessing telehealth patient experience.
Main Methods:
- Systematic collection of 11 validated patient experience surveys.
- Extraction and categorization of 114 patient experience sub-themes across five core themes.
- Comparative analysis of survey questions against identified sub-themes and telehealth-specific criteria.
Main Results:
- Validated patient experience surveys cover a maximum of 20.2% of identified sub-themes.
- "Psychosocial Needs" (81.8%) and "Information: Treatment" (72.7%) were the most frequently covered sub-themes.
- Only one validated patient experience survey (PEQ) was found to be telehealth-specific.
Conclusions:
- Current validated patient experience surveys offer limited coverage of the full spectrum of patient experience in telehealth.
- There is a significant need for the development or adaptation of validated, telehealth-specific patient experience surveys.
- Improved survey instruments are essential for accurate evaluation and enhancement of telehealth services.
