Abstract

Purpose

To test the feasibility of a co-designed PROMs collection system for hospitalised older adults.

Methods

A mixed-methods feasibility study was conducted sequentially across one acute and one sub-acute ward, over a 12-week period. Patients aged ≥ 60 years who discharged from hospital were eligible. The EQ-5D-5L with added items on fatigue and cognition was administered on discharge and at 3–6 months post-discharge. Administration was by either a research assistant or volunteer using a variety of modes (tablet computer, phone, SMS). Feasibility was evaluated using a feasibility framework to capture demand, implementation, practicality, and acceptability. Descriptive statistics were applied. Interviews were conducted with volunteers and analysed using deductive content analysis.

Results

Completion rates indicated high demand (discharge = 84%, n = 110/131; follow-up = 81%, n = 90/110). At discharge, most completed PROMs on the tablet (57%) and 9% were administered by a volunteer. Most required assistance using the tablet (67%) and the average time to administer PROMs was longest for the tablet (17.9 min, SD = 3.3), followed by phone (8.8 min, SD = 4.4) and SMS (1.3 min, SD = 0.5). Fewer participants reported acceptability with using the tablet (61%) compared to SMS (100%). At follow-up, most completed PROMs on the phone (82%) and the average time to administer PROMs was less than discharge (4.9 vs. 13.4 min). Volunteers reported administering PROMs to unwell patients was challenging.

Conclusion

A co-designed PROMs collection system demonstrated feasibility in hospitalised older adults with phone and SMS having greatest acceptability. Administration of PROMs by volunteers was not feasible.
