Overview
Brief Summary
The key to patient-centered care is to identify what the patient perceives as meaningful. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate which aspects of patient-centered care are priorities to infertility patients, and if those priorities vary by geographical region.
Detailed Description
An electronic survey will be distributed to current patients within The Prelude Network, a network of fertility practices, for a total of six months. Survey responses will be collected anonymously using Survey Monkey. The survey is designed to collect information on patient preferences for patient-centered care. Participants will rank the importance of the different options within each Factor category (Clinic, Physician, Finance, and Staff). In addition, demographic questions are included and will be utilized to determine if these factors could have a significant impact on patient-centered care preferences. It is anticipated that at least 1,000 completed surveys will be collected. A similar survey was distributed to Prelude Network physicians. Patient and physician responses may be compared as part of additional data analysis.
