“…Whereas early valuation studies relied on props to illustrate TTO [ 3 ], this valuation method is now often operationalised digitally. For example, the latest valuation protocol for EQ-5D-5L prescribes the use of computer-assisted face-to-face (personal) interviews (CAPI) for TTO using highly standardised software [ 4 ], although alternative software packages exist [ 5 ]. The mode of administration, however, has not changed substantially for decades; TTO interviews in large-scale valuation studies are completed with costly and time-intensive face-to-face data collection (e.g.…”

The preferred mode of administration of time trade-off (TTO) in large-scale valuation studies is face-to-face (personal) interviews facilitated by a trained interviewer. Geographical, financial or situational constraints could complicate personal TTO interviews. When facing such constraints, the use of digital interviews, in which trained interviewers facilitate through videotelephony software (i.e. tele-TTO) may be considered. This paper aims to guide researchers in how to approach tele-TTO interviews and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of tele-TTO compared to personal TTO are decreased need for travel and increased flexibility of interview scheduling, which could reduce costs and may foster representative sampling. Possible disadvantages of tele-TTO are partial loss of visual cues, complications with building rapport and possible selection effects that result from differences in interview preparation. Furthermore, the paper reports on lessons learned from a project in which both personal TTO and tele-TTO interviews were conducted. The results of this project suggest that although they require a different recruitment and interview process, tele-TTO interviews are feasible and provide flexibility to the interviewer. Furthermore, tele-TTO interviews yield largely similar results. Future research should explore the role of possible selection effects and respondents’ perspective on tele-TTO interviews.

“…Proposed work for enhancing health information systems to support clinical research builds on the data management solutions, bridging the adoption gap by incorporating them directly into electronic documentation tools [47,48]. The approach facilitates reuse of routinely collected data and seamless inclusion of data capture specific to a patient's research studies while minimizing the impact on clinician effort [49,50].…”

Introduction: The capture and integration of structured data from point of care into clinical registries has been a challenge. However, this effort is very important toward a qualitative patient care and research. Collection, organization and interpretation of clinical data can help to improve evidence-based medicine practices. Worksheets data capture are prevalent, but, not flexible, protected, workflow pleasant, and user friendly and do not support the creation of standardized and interoperable data. The aim of this study was to design and implement an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) instruments to be use in context of cardiovascular invasive procedures.Material and Methods: This descriptive and developmental study conducted in three phases as follows. (1) data standardization according national and international data element templates published by specialized societies; (2) developing of an initial data collection and clinical research workflow (3), establishing of electronic case reports using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy rule.Results: Three case report forms was developed that included demographics, medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, radiology examinations, Electrophysiology (EP) procedures, as well as medications and follow-up information. Data-entry validation criteria have been implementing in electronic data collection instrument to assure validity and precision when data enter in electronic form.Conclusion: This paper describes the process used to create an EDC application. Data collection applications were successfully develop as an a priori step in a clinical research for assisting data collection and management in a case of cardiovascular EP invasive procedures.

Background. The Gambler II is a web-based utility assessment tool supporting visual analogue scale (VAS), standard gamble (SG), and time trade-off (TTO) utility assessments. It contains novel features, including an easy to use project development authoring tool and use of multimedia clips for health state descriptions. Objectives. Evaluate the usability and understandability of the patient-facing side of The Gambler. Investigate the feasibility of using The Gambler and evaluate its impact on patient knowledge regarding the relevant health states. Materials and Methods. We used The Gambler to assess utilities on a convenience sample of 55 users for common long-term complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus: diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot infection requiring transmetatarsal amputation. Using VAS, SG, and TTO, we collected metadata, such as time spent on each assessment and the entire assessment process. We evaluated usability with an adaptation of the System Usability Scale survey and understandability. We evaluated impact on knowledge gained through knowledge assessments about these complications before and after use of The Gambler. Results. Overall satisfaction with The Gambler was high, 4.02 on a 5-point scale. Usability rated highly at 84.93 on a normalized scale between 0 and 100. Knowledge scores increased significantly following use of The Gambler from pretest mean of 68% to posttest mean of 76% ( P < 0.01). Average time using the software: ∼7½ minutes. Conclusions. The Gambler is an easy to use and understand computer-based tool for utility assessment. It is feasible to use within clinical encounters to support shared decision making, and it has unique features that make it a powerful tool for investigators interested in research on health utilities.
