client provider and community Referrer perceptions of telehealth for the delivery of rural paediatric allied health services
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2019Co-Authors: Jessica Campbell, Deborah Theodoros, Trevor Russell, Nicole Gillespie, Nicole HartleyAbstract:OBJECTIVE To examine allied health client, provider and community Referrer perceptions of telehealth for the delivery of rural paediatric allied health services to facilitate adoption. DESIGN A qualitative design employed semistructured interviews with the three key stakeholder groups. SETTING Stakeholders were associated with BUSHkids (The Royal Queensland Bush Children's Health Scheme), a not-for-profit organisation serving children and families in Queensland, Australia. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-nine stakeholders (12 clients, 16 providers and 11 community Referrers). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Participants were asked about familiarity with telehealth, willingness to use telehealth and perceived barriers and facilitators to telehealth acceptability. RESULT Fifty-nine percent of participants had experienced telehealth and 77 percent were willing to use it. Participants perceived that technology problems were a barrier to telehealth, that children would not be able to concentrate on or enjoy telehealth sessions, that relationships and communication would be inferior to in-person sessions, and that telehealth was inappropriate for disciplines employing physical touch. Participants identified access to health services as a key benefit of telehealth, said that technology problems could be worked around, and said that telehealth services could be supported with internal partners (eg, assistants) and external partners (eg, local medical centres). They also identified a variety of telehealth benefits to families (eg, convenience, privacy). CONCLUSION Overall, telehealth was acceptable to stakeholders. Providers need training to facilitate child participation online and identify alternatives to physical touch. Co-learning opportunities should be used to address low provider and Referrer self-efficacy.

if the referral fits bridging the gap between patient and Referrer requirements in a tertiary referral unit
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1996Co-Authors: Kerrie Eyers, Henry Brodaty, Gordon Parker, Philip Boyce, Philip B Mitchell, Kay Wilhelm, Ian B HickieAbstract:Objective: We examined the reasons for which doctors refer and patients request referral to our tertiary Mood Disorders Unit (MDU), focussing on congruence and ‘fit’, and the potential for more efficient use of referral resources. Method: A postal survey of patients (n=265 or 83% responders) and Referrers (n=156 or 94% responders) sought views regarding referral and service components. Ratings from 156 matched Referrer-patient dyads were compared. Results: Overall, Referrers and patients were satisfied with the MDU. There was disparity between what Referrers sought and what patients thought were the reasons for referral, and different perceptions of the value of interventions and the amount of improvement. Congruent matched Referrer-patient judgements of patient outcome were more likely to correspond with objective clinician ratings than discordant ratings. Satisfaction with MDU contact or intervention was not necessarily linked to improvement; better management of chronic depression was also valued. Refe...

what the doctor ordered Referrer satisfaction with a mood disorders unit
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1994Co-Authors: Kerrie Eyers, Henry Brodaty, Kay RoyAbstract:Assessment of Referrer's needs, patterns and satisfaction ratings with a psychiatric service provides both a clinical and service performance indicator. This study explored Referrer satisfaction with a tertiary referral mood disorders unit (MDU). The 147 responders comprised 75 psychiatrists, 59 general practitioners and 13 others. Thirty-two percent of Referrers were “very satisfied” and 42%“quite satisfied” with their contact with the unit. Components of satisfaction were defined by piincipal components analysis as“technical competence”; “adequate information and follow-up support” and “access” to the facility, dimensions confirmed by responses to open-ended questions. Differences were established between the referral needs of psychiatrists and general practitioners, suggesting different treatment emphases. Such surveys provide a framework which can facilitate review and restructuring of important service components of any psychiatric facility.

to whom do you refer a Referrer satisfaction study
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1996Co-Authors: Gordon Parker, Murray Wright, Sadie Robertson, Ayse SengozAbstract:Objective: To report the development of a Referrer satisfaction measure. Method: Urban and rural general practitioners, physicians, neurologists, as well as obstetricians and gynaecologists rated 36 items in terms of their judged importance to the respondent' s satisfaction with a psychiatric service. Responses of the whole sample and component practitioner sub-groups were ranked.Results: We established a high level of agreement across the several subgroups suggesting that we had identified general rather than idiosyncratic variables contributing to Referrer satisfaction. Referrers prioritised as most important the immediacy of initial appointment, the psychiatrist reporting at the beginning and end of any treatment course, and ready verbal communication between the Referrer and the psychiatrist. Items accorded low priority were the psychiatrist' s billing arrangements, the psychiatrist being ‘perfect’ (in either having a high ‘cure’ rate or making a definitive diagnosis initially), or the psychiatrist ta...
