RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Telemedicine has grown significantly in recent years, mainly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there has been a growing body of literature on the subject. Another topic that merits increased attention is differences in patient and family experience between telehealth and in-person visits. To our team's knowledge, this is the first study evaluating pediatric and obstetrics outpatients experience with telemedicine and in-person visit types in an academic maternal and children's hospital, and its correlation with geographic distance from the medical center throughout 2020, during the COVID-19 crisis. METHODS: We aim to evaluate and compare patients' telemedicine and in-person experience for ambulatory encounters based on survey data throughout 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular focus on the influence of distance of the patient's home address from the medical facility. A total of 9,322 patient experience surveys from ambulatory encounters (6,362 in-person and 2,960 telemedicine), in a maternal and children's hospital during 2020 were included in this study. The percentage of patients who scored the question "Likelihood to recommend practice" with a maximum 5/5 (top box) score was used to evaluate patient experience. The k-means model was used to create distance clusters, and statistical t-tests were conducted to compare mean distances and Top Box values between telemedicine and in-person models. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between Top Box scores and patients' distance to the hospital. RESULTS: Top Box likelihood to recommend percentages for in-person and telemedicine were comparable (in-person = 81.21%, telemedicine = 81.70%, p-value = 0.5624). Mean distance from the hospital was greater for telemedicine compared to in-person patients (in-person = 48.89 miles, telemedicine = 61.23 miles, p-value < 0.01). Patients who live farther displayed higher satisfaction scores regardless of the visit type (p-value < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: There is a direct relationship between the family experience and the distance from the considered medical center, during year 2020, i.e., patients who live farther from the hospital record higher Top Box proportion for "Likelihood to Recommend" than patients who live closer to the medical center, regardless of the approach, in-person or telemedicine.

RESUMO

Increasing attention is being given to improving patient experience in health care. Most children's hospitals have a patient experience office or team that champions and measures patient experience and partners with operations to optimize performance in this area. We outline the activities that our patient experience team undertakes at our pediatric health system to advocate for, measure and improve the experience of our patients and families. The framework we propose for such activities includes those that are proactive in improving patient experience as well as those that are reactive to when patients and families have had a poor experience. Those reactive practices are often centered on the management of patient complaints and grievances and early intervention into patient complaints so that they do not become grievances.
