“…A prospective outpatient study linked patient satisfaction 3 days after the visit to improved health outcomes 4 weeks later. The time lapse, separating satisfaction surveys and disease-outcome measurements, helped to demonstrate a solid relationship between patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life; however, satisfied patients did not have greater symptom resolution [13].…”

EditorialEffect of patient satisfaction on outcomes of care Expert Rev. Pharmacoeconomics Outcomes Res. 9(5), 393-395 (2009) "Compliments on the physician's inter personal skills, concern for the patient's health and quality of explanations and answers to questions correlate with a higher rate of patient satisfaction."Patient satisfaction with care is a common treatment goal in all areas of medicine. Patients' satisfaction with their physicians depends on a variety of factors. A strong doctor-patient relationship based on adequate communication and good interpersonal skills is vital. In one study, insufficient communication was recognized by psoriasis patients as a major cause of dissatisfaction with psoriasis treatment [1]. Inadequate patient education serves as another barrier to patient satisfaction [2].

“…Additionally, review articles that summarized the current status of research on adherence-enhancing interventions in chronic conditions were also selected and corresponding references therein were retrieved for full-text review [1, 26, 34, 40, 46, 55, 73, 80]. Furthermore, 14 publications, which were not identified via the literature search but which were known to the authors as being relevant, were included in the pool of the literature retrieved for full-text review [10, 15, 20, 21, 23, 31, 39, 47, 52, 62, 63, 65, 76, 77]. Given that none of the already published adherence-enhancing interventions were specific for psoriasis it was difficult to identify factors specific to psoriasis or its treatment.…”

Development of an adherence-enhancing intervention in topical treatment termed the topical treatment optimization program (TTOP)

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Psoriasis is a common, disabling, chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disorder of the skin with a worldwide prevalence of 2–3 % in which adherence to treatment is often poor. The majority of individuals have limited disease that is being treated with topical medication according to existing guidelines. Adherence rates are lower for topical compared with systemic treatment. Low medication adherence is a major problem for patients with chronic disorders as it results in suboptimal treatment outcomes, increased risk for development of concomitant diseases, inefficient use of health resources and considerable losses to society. However, to date no adherence-enhancing intervention has been developed for psoriasis patients under topical treatment. In this article, we report the development of the topical treatment optimization program (TTOP). The TTOP intervention aims to improve the information given to the patients and to result in an engaged patient–physician relationship. Application of the TTOP intervention in daily clinical practice may lead to a significant increase of adherence and the successful management of psoriasis and other chronic skin disorders.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00403-014-1475-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…It should be noted that the use of subjective measures of pain outcomes is consistent with standards of pain treatment, which emphasize the subjective nature of pain and stress the importance of the patient's experience of whether his or her pain is adequately relieved [13]. There is consensus that patients' satisfaction with care is an important measure of healthcare quality, and evidence that patient satisfaction is associated with important outcomes such as health status, health-related quality of life, and medication adherence [38][39][40]. However, future studies should use more comprehensive measures of pain outcomes, such as those recommended by the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) [29].…”

Association between pain outcomes and race and opioid treatment: Retrospective cohort study of Veterans

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract-We examined whether pain outcomes (pain interference, perceived pain treatment effectiveness) vary by race and then whether opioid use moderates these associations. These analyses are part of a retrospective cohort study among 3,505 black and 46,203 non-Hispanic, white Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) patients with diagnoses of chronic musculoskeletal pain who responded to the 2007 VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients (SHEP). We used electronic medical record data to identify prescriptions for pharmacologic pain treatments in the year after diagnosis (Pain Diagnosis index visit) and before the SHEP index visit (the visit that made one eligible to complete the SHEP); pain outcomes came from the SHEP. We found no significant associations between race and pain interference or perceived effectiveness of pain treatment. VA patients with opioid prescriptions between the Pain Diagnosis index visit and the SHEP index visit reported greater pain interference on the SHEP than those without opioid prescriptions during that period. Opioid prescriptions were not associated with perceived treatment effectiveness for most patients. Findings raise questions about benefits of opioids for musculoskeletal pain and point to the need for alternative treatments for addressing chronic noncancer pain.
