“…5,[22][23][24][25][26] This pilot study was limited by its single surgeon, single centre study design as it was not possible to randomise or blind either the subjects or the observers. Furthermore, the small numbers studied do not allow the effects of differences in mobile phone usage or internet access to be determined.…”

INTRODUCTION Electronic patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) enable real time reporting back to the patient and medical team, comparison between similar patient cohorts and long-term cost effective outcome measurement. The primary objective of this three-phase pilot study was to measure uptake using a web-based PROM system following the introduction of two separate process improvements. METHODS Eighty consecutive new elective orthopaedic patients in a single surgeon's practice were recruited for the study. Patients in Group 1 (n=26) received only a letter reminding them to complete a symptom score. Those in Group 2 (n=31) also received a reminder SMS (short message service) message via their mobile or home telephone and those in Group 3 (n=23) also had access to a tablet computer in clinic. RESULTS The mean patient age in Group 1 was 55 years (range: 24-80 years), in Group 2 it was 60 years (range: 23-85 years) and in Group 3 it was 58 years (range: 37-78 years) (p>0.05). Overall, 79% of patients had internet access, and 35% of Group 1, 55% of Group 2 and 74% of Group 3 recorded an electronic PROM score (p=0.02). In Group 3, 94% of patients listed for an operation completed an electronic PROM score (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Collecting PROM data effectively in everyday clinical practice is challenging. Electronic collection should meet that challenge and improve healthcare delivery but it is in its infancy. This pilot study shows that the combination of an SMS reminder and access to a Wi-Fi enabled tablet computer in the clinic setting enabled 94% of patients listed for an operation to complete a score on a web-based clinical outcomes system. Additional staff training and telephone call reminders may further improve uptake.

“…Sie sind zudem zumeist auch in die rheumatologischen EDV-Dokumentationssysteme integriert. Gezeigt wurde, dass softwaregestützte PRO Scores liefern, die papierbasiert erhobenen Scores entsprechen; es bestehen somit gute strukturelle Voraussetzungen, die es mit reduziertem Zeitaufwand und guter Patientenakzeptanz erlauben, PRO vor Ort in der klinischen Routine einzusetzen [43]. Das internationale METEOR-Projekt ermöglicht mittels eines Webtools eine geschützte Online-Dokumentation von PRO, ärztlichen Untersuchungsparameter sowie einen patientenseitigen Online-Zugang zur elektronischen Patientenakte [26].…”

“…Many studies (e.g., [9,11]), demonstrated the reliability of computerized questionnaires running on desktop and touchscreen computers with respect to their paper-based equivalents. Some researches also focused on the reliability of PDAs [3,4], tablets [10], and web-based forms [7]. Other studies were concerned with the acceptability of computerized questionnaires.…”

In this paper we investigate the impact of patient's profile on the usability of filling clinical questionnaires on smart devices. Our study was conducted in an oncological day hospital, where the EORTC QLQ-C30 quality of life questionnaire is administered to outpatients using computerized devices (smartphone, tablet, and laptop) and a paper form. We show that all the devices are evaluated as usable by the patients, under the dimension of easiness of use, and provided information. Moreover, we show that the patient's cognitive functioning (CF) impacts negatively on the evaluated usability of laptop-based surveys, suggesting that CF must be taken into account in the GUI design. Finally, we illustrate that the patient age and her technological skills also have a negative impact on the evaluated usability.
