Table 2.
Assessing feasibility themes with illustrative quotes from clinicians and clinic staff.
Themes and respondent roles | Illustrative quotes | |
Well-received aspects of new technology | ||
Clinician | “The tablet to EMRa connection is quick, with information appearing in the EMR immediately following the patient pressing the ‘submit’ or ‘quit’ buttons.” | |
Technology-related disruptions | ||
Reception | “You type in the PHINb, and then it says unable to connect...” | |
Disruption in clinic workflow | ||
Clinician | “This avenue [Ocean app] for the RFITc survey is preferential to paper. It increases its utility. However, you would need more tablets, and it still does slow down the clinic.” | |
Reception | “Entering the tablet password and patient PHIN can be difficult if there is a long line at reception. If there was more… tablets and more physicians participating, it would be very difficult to set-up the tablet for each patient...” | |
Establishing a new routine | ||
Reception | “Once we became more used to handing out the tablet and it became a habit, it really was not extra work administratively. It was easy in that sense.” |
