J Patient Rep Outcomes 2022 May 19;6(1):52. Epub 2022 May 19.

Department of Public Health, Section of Health Service Research, University of Copenhagen, Øster Farimagsgade 5, 1014, Copenhagen K, Denmark.

Background: Use of digital health services, such as digital patient-reported outcomes, depends on many different human factors as well as digital design solutions. One factor is clinicians' attitude towards the system, their reasoning behind the using system and their perceptions of patients' ability to engage with digital health systems. This study aimed to explore hospital clinicians' attitudes towards digital patient-reported outcomes used in the routine care and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, and to explore the potential role of clinicians' attitudes in influencing patients' use of digital patient-reported outcomes.

Results: Twelve clinicians using digital patient-reported outcome assessments in the care of inflammatory bowel disease were interviewed about their experiences of, and perspectives on, using this service. Most participants supported the use of digital patient-reported outcome assessments in the care of most patients. Participants reported that most patients found the digital solution easy to use. They perceived digital patient-reported outcomes to have three main purposes: prioritising resources; improving patients' quality of life; and improving quality of care. The patient-clinician relationship was of great importance to participants. Participants varied in their intention to use digital PRO, as some viewed the system as a positive but optional add-on for patients, whilst others intended to use the system with all eligible patients.

Conclusion: Clinicians' general support of using digital patient-reported outcomes might facilitate their use among patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The participants saw benefits in doing so for patients, clinicians and the wider health service. Clinicians' attitudes towards the use of digital PRO in the care of their patients may influence patients' uptake of health service.

Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to severe health consequences such as hypertension, daytime sleepiness, and cardiovascular disease. Nearly a billion people are estimated to have obstructive sleep apnea with a substantial economic burden. However, the current diagnostic parameter of obstructive sleep apnea, the apnea-hypopnea index, correlates poorly with related comorbidities and symptoms. Read More

Readiness for five digital technologies in general practice: perceptions of staff in one part of southern England.

Authors:
Matthew Hammerton Tim Benson Andrew Sibley

BMJ Open Qual 2022 Jun;11(2)

Wessex Academic Health Science Network, Southampton, UK.

Background: Our aim was to understand how digital readiness within general practice varies between different technologies and to identify how demographic, workplace and external factors affect this. The technologies considered include electronic patient records, telehealth (text messaging and video consultations), patient online access, patient clinical apps and wearables, and social media.

Method: A digital readiness survey tool was developed and used in one area of southern England during Spring 2020. Read More

World J Surg 2022 Jun 28. Epub 2022 Jun 28.

Department of Surgery, The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust, Newark Street, London, E1 2AA, UK.

Background: Patient understanding of surgical procedures is often incomplete at the time they are performed, invalidating consent, and exposing healthcare providers to complaints and claims of failure to inform. Remote consultations, language barriers and patient factors can hinder an effective consent pathway. New approaches are needed to support communication and shared decision-making. Read More
