    Main Methods:

    • A self-administered questionnaire was developed for outpatients to complete prior to their appointments.
    • The questionnaire focused on capturing routine clinical information.
    • Data completeness and administrative feasibility were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • The self-administered questionnaire was found to be acceptable to outpatients.
    • More clinical information was recorded and available in case notes compared to conventional consultations.
    • No administrative issues arose concerning the questionnaire's distribution, use, or return.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-administered questionnaires are a viable tool for enhancing the collection of outpatient clinical data.
    • This approach improves information availability and optimizes physician time, contributing to more effective healthcare delivery.
