Determinants associated with completion of postdischarge follow-up survey among multimorbid patients: a secondary analysis of the non-randomised clinical In-HospiTOOL trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Postdischarge surveys are critical in collecting patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), but response rates vary and are often low.

Objective

To assess determinants that are associated with survey completion by phone in a complex medical care setting.

Design

Secondary analysis of a prospective controlled interrupted time series analysis.

Setting

As part of the non-randomised controlled In-HospiTOOL trial, a survey was conducted to gather data on PREMs and PROMs in multimorbid patients from seven hospitals in Switzerland.

Participants

31 103 medical acute care hospitalisations among seven intervention hospitals who were eligible for the survey.

Interventions

Over a 6-month pre-intervent
