Measure
Standard of Care
The control arm participants will receive only a satisfaction survey once disposition is determined by the physician provider. The satisfaction survey will be collected by the research associated and kept in a protected location, along with all other study materials. All patients will receive standard of care, which at this institution is the help of Child Life Specialists, when they are available and requested by the physician. Physicians will be instructed to request Child Life Specialists with the same discretion as with all patients.
Questionnaire
Participants who are randomized to the questionnaire arm will receive a patient-centered questionnaire at the beginning of their visit. This single page document will ask questions about their child including, but not limited to, diagnoses, suggestions for distraction, sensory issues that may affect their visit, and method to best administer medications. The research associate will ask them to fill it out to the best of their ability and will collect the questionnaire prior to a physician provider seeing the patient. At least one physician provider must review the questionnaire prior to seeing the patient. Once disposition is determined, the satisfaction survey will be distributed by the research associate along with an envelope for the parent to seal their survey within. Questionnaire: There will be a single page document, a patient-centered questionnaire, distributed to parents of study participants who have been randomized to the intervention arm.
