From the other UW - Washington: Great study, well presented. Thanks for sharing it at NAPCRG. Did you collect any qualitative data from the clinicians involved or the other ends of these telehealth encounters? Since the goal is to explore the patient experience, in what ways did you involve patients in the planning and design of your study? Thanks.
Collin - thanks for this great work and eager to see the qualitative findings!!
I enjoyed your poster and appreciated that cost and payment as well as value will be important in the future of telehealth. In addition, giving patients the ability to be seen in person for a perceived serious concern is an interesting area for study.
Great study. I think this evaluation is important. What is clear here is that interacting with clinicians using technology is not inherent to all. And to assume that patient "just know how to get on video", etc the same way that our patients "just know how to drive to the clinic and park and walk into the clinic" is quite naive. It speaks to the importance of primary care clinic mangers need to connect and work with IT so that there is some sort of community training and assessing if people have the technology to connect in the first place. This study helps bring to light where collaborations need to happen so that care can be improved using technology. Thank you!
at the other "UW" - we put together a guide for research collaborations with patients, but this might be a helpful prototype for clinical-patient interactions using technology. Check out our guide at: https://familymedicine.uw.edu/pcor-guide/
