Danish hospital physicians are obliged to mark discharge summaries addressing whether the GP is recommended to follow up the patient, as well as stating suggested follow-up actions in a recommendation text box.
To investigate GPs' experiences with the recommendation text box in discharge summaries.
DESIGN & SETTING: A questionnaire was sent to a representative sample of GPs in Denmark in January 2021.
A questionnaire was prepared for GPs based on background material, focus group interviews, and discussions with GPs and hospital physicians. It was subsequently pilot-tested by fellow researchers and GPs, and revised before the survey.
Seventy-two per cent of the GPs surveyed 'totally agree' or 'partly agree' that the recommendation text box is easy to find. In addition, our results show significant differences on how difficult the recommendation box is to find on different software. Sixty-three per cent 'totally agree' or 'partly agree' that the recommendation text box provides brief and precise information about the recommended follow-up.
GPs generally find that the recommendation text box provides them with brief and precise information about the recommended follow-up. In addition, the software used by the GPs has a significant influence on how the recommendation text box is to find.
丹麦医院医生有义务在出院小结中注明是否建议全科医生对患者进行随访，并在建议文本框中说明建议的随访措施。
调查全科医生对出院小结中建议文本框的体验。
2021年1月向丹麦全科医生的代表性样本发送了一份调查问卷。
根据背景资料、焦点小组访谈以及与全科医生和医院医生的讨论，为全科医生准备了一份调查问卷。随后由研究人员和全科医生进行了预测试，并在调查前进行了修订。
72%的受访全科医生“完全同意”或“部分同意”建议文本框很容易找到。此外，我们的结果显示，在不同软件上查找建议框的难度存在显著差异。63%的人“完全同意”或“部分同意”建议文本框提供了关于建议随访的简要而精确的信息。
全科医生普遍认为建议文本框为他们提供了关于建议随访的简要而精确的信息。此外，全科医生使用的软件对查找建议文本框的难易程度有重大影响。
