Abstract
BackgroundThe coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) made necessary to remodel the hospital's clinical consultations. ObjectiveTo evaluate the telematic consultation in endocrine surgery, as well as to select the group of patients susceptible to perform a telematic consultation in the future according to this assessment. MethodsThe study population were patients who had a clinical consultation by telephone. The evaluation was made with the Net Promoter Score (NPS). Statistical analysis: SPSS v.28, X2 test and a multivariate analysis. Results55 patients were analyzed. The NPS was +16, 24 promoters (43.6%) and 15 detractors (27.2%). There were differences between those whose main reason for consultation was malignant pathology (OR 4.5; p = 0.033). The NPS between malignant vs. non-malignant pathology was −13 vs. +38 (p > 0.001). The evaluation of the telematic consultations for the future was: telephone (83% very well), video call (58%), videoconference (19%). ConclusionsThe evaluation of the telephone consultation has been good, finding a better assessment among patients with non-malignant pathology. Its future implementation could be necessary, being the telephone the preferred way.
