Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The aim of the study is to collect data that reflects patients’ current use of and knowledge about digital media in everyday life and, in particular, in healthcare (telemedicine). The survey is designed to conduct a needs assessment. The main aim is to investigate how the acceptance, use and perceived quality of telemedicine differ from face-to-face doctor-patient consultations, and which patient-related factors (age, place of residence, type of illness – particularly cancer –, frequency of use of medical services, and digital literacy) influence information-seeking behaviour, trust in information sources, and the use of digital health services such as the electronic patient record. Patients are to be surveyed using a questionnaire designed for this purpose.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Patients who are more active on social media use telemedicine services more frequently than patients who use social media infrequently or not at all. - Patients who visit their doctor frequently show greater interest in telemedicine services than those who see their doctor less often. - Patients living in rural areas show greater interest in telemedicine than patients in urban areas. - Younger patients are more open to telemedicine services than older patients. - Patients with cancer show greater interest in telemedicine services than patients without cancer. - Patients regard information from doctors as more reliable than health-related information from the internet. - During crisis situations (e.g. a pandemic), patients use telemedicine services more frequently than in non-crisis periods. - Patients who already use telemedicine services are more likely to use an electronic health record (eHR) than patients who do not use telemedicine. - Patients facing language barriers show greater interest in time-delayed telemedicine services (e.g. asynchronous communication). - Patients with little or no previous experience of telemedicine recognise its potential and are open to training and support services.	—
