Abstract:

Background/introduction: Women with POI see many healthcare professionals leading to multiple sets of notes, many of which are either inaccessible or misplaced. Introducing handheld notes would streamline care and increase overall POI patient satisfaction.

Aim(s)/objectives: Develop handheld notes that will: collate patient’s medical information; allow for autonomy of care; avoid unnecessary investigations and assist health care professionals in understanding the patient’s journey.

Methods: We designed handheld notes based on GSTT guidelines, patient and healthcare providers’ feedback. 10 women, seen in the POI clinic at Govt. Hospital, were invited to a focus group and asked to fill out 2 surveys. Each survey contained 16 questions; 1-13 measured patient satisfaction with and without handheld notes (maximum score of 65). Questions 14-16 asked about ease of using the notes.

Results: In a three-factor model of clinical experience (patient understanding; doctor’s knowledge of the patient’s journey; ease of service use), we found an improvement in patient satisfaction was enough to improve the global satisfaction score from 2.8 (without notes) to 3.6 (with notes). A T-test showed significant improvement with a 95% confidence interval. The questions that showed a significant improvement were related to patient understanding.

Discussion/conclusion: Overall, handheld notes have shown initial promise by improving patient perception of POI management, ease of bringing to appointments and overall patient satisfaction. Limitations include; small sample size and limited time resulting in one data collection. This is an ongoing project with an aim to collate longitudinal evidence with a larger sample size and additional feedback from healthcare professionals.
