Use of an online questionnaire as follow-up after abdominal colorectal surgery
Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire via the institutional patient portal. Participants were also asked to upload a photo of their respective incisions. Participants then had an in-person follow-up visit.
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Planned/underwent surgery that was performed by a surgeon in the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery
3. Requires a post-operative follow-up outpatient visit 2-3 weeks from surgery or from discharge from hospital
4. Has access to a smart mobile phone, tablet or computer to access online web interface for the web-based visit
5. Patients with an Epic MyChart account set up.
6. Has ability to take photographs of surgical incision or has access to someone who can take a picture for them.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Cannot use web-based interface or unable to complete questions online
3. Cannot read English, speak English, or would require interpreter services. The reason for excluding these patients is there are not yet MyChart services available in non-English languages at Umass Memorial. It would not be fiscally possible to acquire these for a pilot feasibility study. As the MyChart experience is meant to be completed at home, it would not be possible to provider a medical interpreter in a non-office or hospital setting.
4. Adults unable to consent (adults lacking capacity)
5. Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers)
6. Prisoners
7. Pregnant women
8. Patients undergoing anal surgery
