Summary results from the completed questionnaires received back from GPs
| Q | Results per cent of 106 completed questionnaires | % Strongly agree | % Agree | % Disagree | % Strongly disagree | % Not answered | % Unsure | % Strongly agree and agree |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | I found ‘Easy View’ maps provided the necessary information I required following my patient's hospital outpatient consultation | 27 | 66 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 93 |
| 2 | The ‘Easy View’ maps are printed at the end of the outpatient appointment and posted same day to the referring GP. The rapid turnaround time makes a considerable difference to the efficiency of dealing with patients | 46 | 45 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 91 |
| 3 | When consulting with a patient who has been to the hospital outpatient department, ‘Easy View’ offers quick access to those aspects of the specialist visit that I need to pick up on for continuing care | 25 | 63 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 88 |
| 4 | When using ‘Easy View’ maps there is no dictation or transcription. Consequently there is a cost saving. This is an important consideration favouring the adoption of the maps more widely | 17 | 71 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 88 |
| 5 | For most patient encounters, the ‘Easy View’ map would be a satisfactory replacement for the traditional letter | 14 | 58 | 21 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 72 |
| 6 | I would prefer an electronic ‘Easy View’ map sent electronically to my practice to a paper copy sent in the post | 25 | 39 | 23 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 64 |
| 7 | I would like to have access to electronic maps in my practice with both ‘read’ and ‘write’ authorisation so that I could build on them | 9 | 34 | 40 | 8 | 6 | 3 | 43 |
