Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is a change in treatment strategy triggered by the telemedical consultation. This endpoint will be asked by means of a questionnaire or telephone interview three months after the patient's inclusion in the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints are: Patient satisfaction with telemedicine, practitioner satisfaction with telemedicine, changes in resource use, clinical outcome (seizure freedom, side effects). These endpoints are collected at the time of the consultation request and three months after completion of the consultation using standardized questionnaires individually designed for the study, and telephone interviews based on these questionnaires. The questionnaires contain questions about the patient's clinical course and quality of life, as well as satisfaction with the consultation as answered by the patient and the physician requesting the consultation. The questionnaires are separate for patients and physicians requesting a consultation. The data collection is thus non-interventional with the help of a structured procedure.
